Lochend House, Category B listed building in Lochend, Edinburgh, Scotland
Lochend House stands on a rock escarpment with steep slopes descending to a small loch, featuring a three-storey L-plan block and pitched roof.
The structure incorporates remnants of a 16th-century tower house that belonged to the Logan family until their involvement in the Gowrie conspiracy against King James VI.
The property includes a 16th-century doocot within Lochend Park, which was later converted into a boat house during the nineteenth century.
Edinburgh Council operated the building as a children's center until 2016, when a fire caused substantial damage to the roof requiring extensive repairs.
King James IV visited Lochend in 1507 to hunt wildfowl, with records showing payments for boat rowing on the loch of Restalrig.
