House, walled garden and designed landscape depicted on historic OS 1st and 2nd edition maps. These show the house with fountain and walled garden to the south, steading and gasometer to the north. Turnerhall owes its name to the wish of John Turner of Birse, merchant in Danzig, to perpetuate his name. In the 17th century the name of the area went from Hilton to Rosehill to Turnerhall. The sixth laird built a 'striking if not very attractive' house of two storeys with gabled wings, deep eaves, round-headed double and tripartite windows and a four-storey square entrance-tower, off centre and slightly institutionalised. Possibly also the site of an earlier manor. The house was demolished in 1933 and a new house occupies the site. Possible site of earlier manor.
