Scope and Content Warehouse, No 46 Queen Charlotte Street, Leith, Edinburgh Queen Charlotte Street runs east-west through the middle of Constitution Street, and through the middle of a series of warehouses, built in connection with the port of Leith. This is the only one with a frontage to this street. This shows the frontage of the warehouse from the north-west, designed in a vaguely Flemish style to respect the architectural quality of this part of Leith. This was built as a bonded warehouse, probably in association with other warehouses round the corner at Nos 91-99 Constitution Street. From the mid-1960s the warehousing of spirits in urban areas was phased out, following a disastrous fire in a whisky warehouse in Glasgow. This move was speeded up by advances in the mechanical handling of casks in racked warehouses. This warehouse has been converted into a pub-restaurant. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
