Located in North Port, it is a Category B listed building, partly dating from 1475[1] but mostly from 1629.

The building is most noted for providing part of the inspiration for Sir Walter Scott's novel The Fair Maid of Perth (1828).

The Glover Incorporation of Perth bought the premises, and used it for their meeting hall for over 150 years.

[2] The building still incorporates medieval parts, but most of its masonry has been renewed, and the interior was re-done between 1893 and 1894 by J.
