Wallace says that the ground for the house was feued from a lawyer named Alexander Scot in 1823 by the builder, George Gunn, and that the house was sold to its first owner, William Paterson, the following year. The lands of Trinity Mains Farm, which include this part of East Trinity Road, are shown on Kirkwood's 1817 map belonging to A Scot Esquire, and laid out for feuing.
The retention of the traditional Scottish stair tower is unusual in a classical house design. In this the rear elevation of Mary Cottage resembles Laverockbank Cottage, 40 East Trinity Road.
