It was adapted from a two storey house, formerly called Lynhurst, next to the larger Kingsknowes House near the railway line to the south east of Galashiels. A large extension was built to the south. During the Second World War it took evacuated children from the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh.
