Located 2 miles southeast of the centre of Edinburgh, Inch House (also The Inch), is a much altered 17th century L-plan tower
house comprising three-storeys and a garret. King James II granted these lands of
the Inch to Holyrood Abbey in the 15th century. By early 17th century the estate
had passed to James Windram who built the oldest section of the current house in
1617, on an island surrounded by the Braid Burn, most-likely incorporating an
earlier structure. Inch House was extended to the northeast in 1634 and held out
against Oliver Cromwell's invading army in 1650. It passed to the Gilmours of
Craigmillar Castle in 1660 and was used to quarter government troops sent to put
down the Jacobite Rising of 1745.
The Gilmours added a west wing in the 18th century and commissioned
architectural historians MacGibbon & Ross to signficantly extend and remodel the
property in 1891. The Gilmours sold the property to Edinburgh Corporation in 1946
and it served first as a primary school and then, from 1968, as a community centre.
It was damaged by fire in 1973, but subsequently restored.
