Title

The Dower House

Description

Dower House dates to 1587. It was in the ownership of James Ingles. J P Wood in his Draft History of Corstorphine Parish (written 1792) mentions the stones being removed from the old castle site to build Mr Michelson's house that was the residence of the Lord Forrester, the residence later known as the Dower House. It eventually fell into disrepair and was derelict until The Corstophine Trust began regenerating it in 1991.
