Hi Putting Palmerston, Kirkcudbright brought up several websites one of which was http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/scotland/dumfries+and+galloway/B This gives a list of Grade B listed buildings and one of them was *42 Terregles Street, Palmerston House, Gatepiers and Garden Walls*<http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-26347-42-terregles-street-palmerston-house-gate> Grade B Terregles Street, Dumfries, Dumfries and Galloway so it looks as if Palmerston House was at 42 Terregles St, which although part of what is loosely called Dumfries is actually west of the river and therefore in the county of Kirkcudbright. If you use the modern google map and move the little figure to get street view you can see what might be the house ...can't quite get the number plate magnified enough to be sure it's 42.
