The Edinburgh lawyer and merchant James Traill, bought an old and ruinous house called the Gallery in Bridge Street Kirkwall and as part of the building work had a summerhouse erected in the large garden. The summerhouse was nicknamed the Groatie Hoose due to it being decorated in seashells.
It was moved to its present location in the grounds of Tankerness House in 2005.
