The Castle of Malbet stood on or near this site, but not much is known about it, except that it was a tall peel tower and was the principle residence of a Macbeth or Macbether, who was in possession of the barony of Liberton in the time of David I.
It is said to have been replaced by a house which stood on the same site as late as 1840, on the third floor of which was a sundial dated 1676.
