Inch House, Category A listed building in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The L-shaped tower house features three floors with an attic, combining early 17th-century Scottish architecture with later additions from different periods.
Constructed in 1617 for James Winram, the property was acquired by Sir John Gilmour of Craigmillar in 1660 after Cromwell's occupation following the Battle of Dunbar.
The name Inch derives from Scottish Gaelic 'innis', indicating the building's location on dry ground within the floodplain of Braid Burn.
Located two miles southeast of Edinburgh's center, the former country house now functions as a community center with rooms for music, arts, and general activities.
The building's entrance displays the Gilmour family motto, while the 1890s modifications by MacGibbon & Ross created an inner courtyard within the structure.
