Pilrig House

Pilrig House in Leith was built in 1638 and was owned by the Balfours from 1718.  Robert Louis Stevenson's mother was a Balfour and the house gets a mention in his novel "Catriona".  The front of the house faces what would have been its parkland and is now a public park.  The house is run as a guest house.  See link below.
