Inverleith House, Category B listed building in Inverleith, Scotland

Sir James Rocheid commissioned architect David Henderson to construct this residence in 1774 for a total cost of £4,109 pounds sterling.

The structure maintains its dual function as both a protected historical building and a contemporary art venue, integrating nature and artistic expression.
