GOOSPIE HOUSE

Built around 1740 by the poet Allan Ramsay (1686-1758).

The name Goose Pie House comes from its unusual eight-sided shape, similar to a pie tin.

The houses built around this area next to the castle are named Ramsay Garden after the poet.

Goosepie House is one of the oldest. It is situated at the front facing Princes Street Gardens and can be seen by going down Ramsay Lane.
