Look inside: A-listed 400-year-old Scottish landmark Lamb's House in Leith hits market for £3.75m

A 415-year-old home in Edinburgh has hit the market for £3,750,000.

A-listed property Lamb’s House was built in 1610 and remains the most “significant surviving building of its era” in Leith.

Restored to provide both a family home and architectural studio, it is located near the harbour and is on the market for offers over £3,750,000.

The property boasts ten bedrooms and six bathrooms, and is of national historic significance due to it’s namesake, Andro Lamb.

Lamb was a descendant of the merchant who welcomed Mary, Queen of Scots to Leith in 1561.

In its early days, the house included six ground-floor shops and apartments above, most likely rented to wealthy Edinburgh merchants with exclusive rights to trade in the port.

The structure is tall for its period, rising four storeys with an attic, and is rich in original features including crow-stepped gables, leaded windows, massive Baltic pine beams, and expansive fireplaces up to 2.7 metres wide.

By the 20th century, the building had fallen into decline. It was rescued in 1938 by the Marquess of Bute and architect Robert Hurd and later donated to the National Trust for Scotland. It served as a day centre from 1962.

Over five years, the building underwent a restoration with modern additions removed and original elements revealed.
