Scope and Content Detail of the Drummond Scrolls, The Lodge, Redford House, Redford Road, Colinton, Edinburgh The Lodge, which lies just within the gates of Redford House, was built in 1884 by the then owner, Robert Andrew Macfie of Dreghorn, from parts of the frontispiece of Edinburgh's Old Royal Infirmary which had been demolished earlier that year. This scroll, at the west end of the south wall of the lodge, was formerly part of the attic storey of the Old Infirmary, designed by William Adam in 1738. It depicts the thistle of Scotland, whereas the scroll at the east end shows the rose of England. The Old Royal Infirmary lay empty for years after the new Royal Infirmary at Lauriston opened in 1879. Robert Andrew Macfie put in a successful bid for most of the old building's ornamental stonework, using it in a number of interesting schemes. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
