Just beyond the Palace of Holyroodhouse this tiny turreted building was probably a summer pavilion or dovecot. The small cavity in the wall of the early 17th century property is reputed to have contained a bath, supposedly where Mary, Queen of Scots, used to bathe in sweet white wine. The house was once attached to a bourdary wall, enclosing the King's Privy Garden and the Royals would most likely would have used it as summer house.
