Wardrew House
The house was built by James Carrick in 1752 and became a hotel in the later C18th. Guests included Robert Burns (in 1787) and Sir Walter Scott (in 1797). The building was at that time of three-storeys and remodelled as a two storey house when it was refurbished in 1980.

"[Gilsland Spa] was originally known by the name of the Holy Well, also by that of Wardrew Spa, the latter name being taken from the tenement and farm on the Northumberland side of the water, and which appears to have been, at one time, the only original place of entertainment. The present mansion was erected in 1752, and is a large and elegantly finished place, though now in a state of great delapidation."
