The Groatie Hoose
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.

Rear of Tankerness House Museum, Tankerness Lane, Kirkwall
Category A listed group of buildings of earlier 16th century, extended 1574 and around 1722. Re-modelled about 1820. Number 41 was absorbed into the museum in 1999. One of the most important early town houses in Scotland, the oldest, north range and gateway, was probably built for Mr Gilbert Falzie, the first post-Reformation minister of Kirkwall, and his wife Elizabeth Kinnaird in 1574. Originally comprising the manses of certain cathedral dignitaries number 41 Broad Street was the Chancellery. The east range was the Sub-chantry and the north range the Archdeaconry and the treasury combined. When it was acquired by James Baikie of Tankerness in 1641 it was consolidated and became known as Tankerness House. He lived in the house until 1670 and resided in the treasury. In 1968 it was restored for Kirkwall Burgh Council under Ian Lindsay and Partners to form the town's museum.
