Scope and Content Quayside Mills, Quayside Street, Leith, Edinburgh These buildings have a very complex history. They incorporate parts of a church founded in about 1493, and subsequently rebuilt, as well as the 17th century manse with its wooden spire of 1675. After a new North Leith parish church was opened in 1816 the complex was converted into grain mills. This shows the centre of the Quayside Street frontage of the mills from the north east. The 1675 steeple is in the middle, with the manse to its left. The chute on the right was used for loading lorries. McGregor & Co had owned the mills at least since 1937. The mills were enlarged and adapted on many occasions. They were still in operation in 1970, but closed in the late 1980s. The manse and some of the other older buildings were sensitively converted into offices and flats by Simpson and Brown, architects, in the early 1990s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
