The Scot's Mining Company House was built as the mine manager's house for Leadhills mining settlement 1734-6, at a time when William Adam was known to be working at Hopetoun House and may be the only surviving example of a small mansion house designed by him. The Hope family, founders of Hopetoun House, acquired the lands of Leadhills through marriage of Sir James Hope (1614-61) to daughter of Robert Foulis of Leadhills. The house later becaming a shooting lodge in the 19th century. (Historic Scotland)
