About the property:

Gunsgreen House was designed by James Adam, the younger brother of Robert Adam, around 1755. Gunsgreen is not only notable as a work of architecture, it was also the centre of a lucrative trade - smuggling! The property is now under the ownership of the Gunsgreen House Trust and has recently undergone major work, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and organisations such as Historic Scotland. The ground and lower ground floors are now home to the new museum where visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about this wonderful house and its fascinating history.
