The ice-house was built in 1760 for Charles, 5th Earl of Elgin. The tall entrance wall with arched door is decorated by blue coloured blae which was burned by mistake in the limekilns. The ice-house and summer-house are positioned by the quarry where the sandstone for Broomhall was taken. Plants brought back from India by the Earl of Elgin were planted in this space and the summer-house was built to catch the evening sun. The summer-house is depicted on the 1st Edition OS Map, 1856 whilst the ice-house is shown of the 1895 Map.
