The House was demolished in 1800 and Gillespies Hospital built on the site..

Information from Architecture Catalogue slip:

'Fireplace, sun-dial and carved stones from Wright's Houses now at Woodhouselee, Midlothian. See under Woodhouselee. Also at St Margaret's Hope, North Queensferry (GH, 1992) See SDD lists.'

It is unclear what the following entry on a catalogue slip refers to:

NMRS Miscellaneous:

Society of Antiquaries of Scotland - Sir Daniel Wilson's "Old Edinburgh", Volume II (1750 - 1800) - 3 Engravings

However, it may be presumed that it refers to three books, with engravings, relating to Daniel Wilson's 'Memorials of Edinburgh in the Olden Time', as listed in the Bibliography.
