  • Rock House was put on the market in November 2014 for £1.2 million. It was bought and renovated by designers Jonathan Reed and Graeme Black and made available for short term lets through agents Dickins Edinburgh who began letting the property from November 2015, I think. By February a BBC crew had already booked Rock House for the Edinburgh Festival. The Rock House web site went up recently listing accommodation, bookings and press reviews. It would be interesting to know why it is on the market again so quickly.
