Designed and built by Charles Butter and his son, William. The first owner, in 1765, was Thomas Lord Erskine and after his death in 1825 it was sold to Lord Leven. By the 1880s the house was a veterinary college and in 1904 it was bought by William Cockburn a contractor and manure merchant. After WWI it was a laundry and in the 1970s it was owned by a car repairer who used the basement as a garage. By 1990 it was stripped and derelict when the rococo fire surrounds were stolen. It was saved in 1991 by roofer Trevor Harding who restored the house.
