A-listed Pilrig House (built 1638) is an historic 17th-century Scottish townhouse, uniquely located in a tranquil park, yet it is only a short stroll, or 5 mins by bus, to Edinburgh's city centre and all the main attractions. Pilgrin House has a fascinating history - it was owned by the same family, the Balfours, for hundreds of years. Robert Louis Stevenson's grandfather, James Balfour, lived here, and RLS, the famous author, visited and played in the gardens as a child. He mentions the name of Pilrig House in many of his novels, eg Kidnapped and Catriona.

Debbie and Philip, the owners, let the three luxurious, 4-star graded apartments in Pilrig House; offering extremely comfortable, immaculately clean and beautifully furnished accommodation. All of the apartments are non-smoking, offer park and garden views, and, rare for Edinburgh, each apartment has an allocated (free) parking space in a private car park to the rear of the house.
