Annotation below title reads:
'It was said to have been the town mansion of the Gordon family. It was occupied by a Duchess of Gordon when Maitland wrote in 1753, and was probably [?] occupied by the final Marquis of Huntly who died in 1636. The building has [?] the date 1570.
The Duchess of Gordon referred to was only a tenant of the house which from 1647 to 1762 was the property of the Hammermen of Canongate. There is no evidence that this was the house occupied by the Marquis of Huntly in 1636.'
