Pinkie House, Category A listed building in Musselburgh, Scotland.
The building incorporates a five-story L-plan tower house with crenellated parapets and features a 96-foot-long painted gallery with classical decorations.
Alexander Seton expanded the structure in 1613, transforming the original 16th-century tower into a residence where Prince Charles, later King Charles I, spent time.
The Long Gallery contains Renaissance-era paintings and inscriptions, reflecting the classical education and artistic preferences of Scottish nobility in the 17th century.
The structure functions as part of Loretto School, with the historic painted gallery now serving as student dormitories and educational spaces.
The basement level retains its original vaulted architecture and houses a wide turnpike stair leading to the second floor of the building.
