Woodhall House

Country House (19th Century) (1884), Tower House (16th Century)

What is recorded here

Woodhall House stands in Juniper Green, Edinburgh, carrying a sixteenth-century tower beneath an 1884 country-house frame. It has belonged to Foulis baronets, a physician, Jesuit novices and students before becoming seventeen private flats. Rooms that once echoed with prayer and lecture now hold ordinary lives, while the old tower still rises above the garden like a forgotten guard.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Woodhall House as Country House (19th Century) (1884), Tower House (16th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Woodhall House was originally a 16th-century tower house, later replaced by a 19th-century country house built in 1884. It is remembered as an example of Scottish domestic architecture evolving from defensive to residential use.
