Gunsgreen House

Gunsgreen House was built in 1753 by the notorious smuggler, John Nisbet, who built the house with a tea chute, vast cellars and hidden spaces to hide his smuggled goods, most often tea.

Gunsgreen House tells the story of its’ past through the ‘Smuggling Experience’, a fun and interactive museum, as well as tours through the historical rooms on the other floors. A great visitor attraction for all the family. It is full of fun and adventures for children. We are a ‘hands on’ attraction where children are welcome to explore and touch as they go.

Complete the smuggling trail, find those pesky hidden rats and dress up as a smuggler as you discover clues and secrets on your way around the house. Children will love exploring the creepy cellars and crawling through the secret tunnel.

​From the parents point of view, there is lots for children to do and look at- meaning you will have time to read things of interest yourself as they complete their challenges.

The house is also a great event and wedding venue, as well as available to rent as self-catering accommodation, sleeping up to 11 people in the Merchant’s House and a further 2 in Nisbet’s Tower.
