Lamb's House, 17th-century merchant house in Leith, Scotland
Located at the intersection of Burgess Street and Water Street, this four-story stone building features traditional North Sea architectural elements and a restored roof.
Built in 1610 for merchant Andrew Lamb, the house gained recognition when Mary Queen of Scots spent an hour there upon her return from France in 1561.
The building represents the merging of Scottish maritime commerce and residential architecture through its dual function as a merchant house and storage facility.
The structure now contains the Icelandic Consulate, architectural offices, residential spaces, and a holiday rental pavilion in the garden area.
The restoration preserved original features like stone staircases and wooden beams while adding handcrafted Swedish pantiles to maintain historical accuracy.
