Built in the early 1750s by John Nisbet, an Eyemouth man who made his money from smuggling, this outstanding House was designed by Scotland’s leading architect of the day, John Adam.

Newly restored, Gunsgreen - House of Secrets tells the story of smuggling in Eyemouth and the East of Scotland through exciting displays in the dark cellars. You will learn about John Nisbet and his brother David and how they cheated the authorities for years – until John went bust in 1787 and lost his beloved house.

Not only can you visit the “House of Secrets”, but you can stay here in the “Merchant’s House”, get married, have a special party or meeting.

There is not a house like Gunsgreen anywhere, with its combination of an exciting story and wonderful architecture and surviving interior decoration.
