Craigentinny House

We arranged to take the Flumlet to join a friend and her granddaughter at Mia's House, a play centre in Restalrig, and in preparation for the trip by checking Google Streetview I came across this historic-looking building nearby. We stopped to blip it on the way home.

Now used as a community centre, Craigentinny House (as Craigentinny Castle), whose origins date from the C16, with alterations in C17 and C19, was owned by the Nisbets of Dean and Craigentinny and in C18 sold to William Miller, a Quaker seed merchant. His son, William Henry Miller, was regarded as an eccentric, which may come as no surprise when one learns that he instructed his ornate mausoleum be built and for his body to be buried at a depth of forty feet. Unsurprisingly, the mausoleum, locally known as the Craigentinny Marbles, has appeared on blip several times.
