Built in 1593, this house is the second oldest house in the city, with Provost Skene's House being the oldest.

It is located on Shiprow and currently contains the Aberdeen Maritime Museum which has been at the site since 1981. It is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and was refurbished in the 1950s before opening again in 1954.
