The accompanying descriptive text in the volume begins as follows:
'This mansion, the residence of William John Wauchope, Esq., is situated in the parish of Liberton, and is distant about two miles from Edinburgh.
The older part of the house was originally a castellated residence, the building of which was begun by Sir Francis Wauchope and finished by his son, Sir John. The initials of their names with those of their ladies are still to be seen on the south side of the house, and betwixt these initials the date 1636 is inserted. Considerable additions were made and the old building was modernised from the plans of W. Adam, architect, about the end of the last century. The present house is a large building facing the north, having a broad avenue in front.'
The full text may be viewed from the volume which is held at the Edinburgh and Scottish Collection in Edinburgh Central Library.
Niddrie Marischal House was gutted by a fire in 1959 and demolished so a housing estate could be built on the site. In turn this housing estate has been demolished and rebuilt.
