Panmure House (Edinburgh)


Panmure House is a 17th-century townhouse located in Edinburgh's Canongate. It is a former residence of economist Adam Smith, who resided there between 1778 and 1790.
During his time living within Panmure House, Smith would continue to study and write, producing no fewer than four new editions of The Wealth of Nations between 1778 and 1789.
Smith died in Panmure House in 1790.
Now an A listed building, Panmure House is the last surviving Smith residence, which in 2008 was bought by the Edinburgh Business School, the Graduate School of Heriot-Watt University; the School has commissioned the restoration of Panmure House into a centre of learning which will provide a resource for students, businesses and the local community. Work began on the restoration of Panmure House in July 2016.
