Chaidh Taigh an Amharc-lainn a dhealbhachadh le Seumas Craig agus chaidh an obair-togail a chrìochnachadh ann an 1872. Bha sùil ri amharc-lann a thoirt d'an bhaile, ach gu mì-fhortanach, ás déidh làimhe cha robh airgead gu leòr acainnean a cheannach.
Togadh an Cuimhneachan air Dùghall Stiùbhart ann an 1872. Rugadh Dùghall Stiùbhart ann an Dùn Èideann agus bha 'na fheallsanachd. Leanaidh e pàtran Tùr nan Gaothan ann am Baile na h-Àithne, le Lysicrates.

Cwblhawyd yr adeilad ar y chwith yn 1872. Bwriedid iddo fod yn arsyllfa i Gaeredin, ond gwaetha'r modd, wedi ei orffen, nid oedd arian ar gael i brynu offer i roi ynddo. James Craig oedd y pensaer.
Cofeb i athronydd o Albanwr o'r enw Dugald Stewart yw'r adeilad ar y dde. Mae'n dilyn patrwm Tŵr y Gwyntoedd yn Athen, gan Lysicrates.

Observatory House was designed by James Craig and completed in 1872. It was intended to be used as the city observatory but due to lack of funds, no equipment could be bought.
The Duguld Stewart Monument, in memory of the Scottish philosopher Dugald Stewart (1753–1828), is modelled on Tower of the Winds in Athens, by Lysicrates.
