Pilrig House (built in 1638) is an historic 17th-century Scottish townhouse, uniquely located in a tranquil park, yet it is only a 15-minute stroll to Edinburgh's city centre (five minutes by bus) and all the main attractions - Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile, Calton Hill, Holyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat, the Scottish Parliament, The National Gallery, Edinburgh Botanical Gardens, the fashionable 'Shore' area of Leith, where The Royal Yacht Britannia is berthed.

Pilrig House has a fascinating history - it was owned by the same family, the Balfours, for hundreds of years. Robert Louis Stevenson's grandfather lived here, and RLS - Scotland's most acclaimed author - visited and played in the gardens as a child. He mentions Pilrig House in many of his novels, eg Kidnapped and Catriona.
