Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The wall of Gunsgreen House. Gunsgreen house is a 18th Century merchant's villa designed by James Adam around 1755. It was the centre of a lucrative smuggling trade in 18th Century Eyemouth. The house was alleged to have its roofspace full of illicit tea, and hiding places built into the walls between certain rooms. The cart wheels in this photograph are the wheels of an old lifeboat launching carriage. Unfortunately, during recent renovation work, the wooden hub and spokes disintegrated and they have been removed (information added September 2009, thanks to George Davidson).
