Category A listed building of late 16th or early 17th century renovated in 1957-8. The house was reputedly the nursery of James VI and of his son Prince Henry but this, like that which associates the house with Darnley, does not seem to be supported by much evidence, more probably the house should be associated with the Erskines of Gogar. Additionally the plaque outside states that Janet Kilbowie's Tavern was in this house where, in 1651, the town surrendered to Cromwell's General Monck.
