Panmure House, Category A listed building in Canongate, Edinburgh, Scotland
This three-story townhouse from the 17th century stands at 129 Canongate, featuring traditional Scottish architectural elements with restored chimneys and slate roofs.
Built between 1691 and 1693 for Lieutenant Colonel George Murray, the residence later became home to economist Adam Smith from 1778 until his death in 1790.
The house functions as a center for economic research under Heriot-Watt University, continuing the intellectual legacy of Adam Smith's economic theories.
Located near the Scottish Parliament within a UNESCO World Heritage site, the building hosts regular lectures and academic events focused on economics and social research.
Archaeological investigations during restoration works revealed medieval kilns and a well beneath the structure, adding to its historical significance.
