Watson House, originally called New Leckie House was built in 1830 by C.A. Graham Moir. The Moirs initially owned the house, but it was later purchased in 1906 by George Younger of the eminent brewing family. It was used as a military hospital in World War 2 and then converted into a Church of Scotland Eventide home for the elderly. It was eventually developed into luxury apartments and villas in 2001.
