Scope and Content Dormer-head, Liberton House, Liberton Drive, Liberton, Edinburgh Liberton House lies at the end of an avenue of elm trees on the south side of Liberton Drive. Built c.1600 for the merchant, William Little, it stands on the site of an earlier building, and incorporates features of the tower-house. This dormer-head, topped by a stone finial and dated 1675, was originally part of the west range of the building which housed the kitchen. It was moved, probably around 1890, to a late 17th-century extension of the west wing built as servants' quarters. The dormer-head is the gable, often in the form of a pediment, above a dormer window which stands up vertically from the slope of a roof. Dormer windows were a common feature of traditional 17th-century Scottish architecture. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
