Adam Smith House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Several buildings in Scotland are referred to as the Adam Smith House, being named after the Scottish economist Adam Smith.

A 19th-century building in Kirkcaldy, near the location of the house of Adam Smith's mother, where Smith lived from 1767 to 1776, and wrote The Wealth of Nations

Adam Smith lived with his mother, in her house, in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, from 1767 to 1776. That house, on the High Street, is where he wrote The Wealth of Nations. The house was torn down in 1834.[1] The successor building, at Nos 218–222 High Street, pictured, was built in 1834 and is itself a historic building, holding Category B Listed building status.[2]
