Scope and Content Warehouses, Nos 61-5 Commercial Street, Edinburgh This shows the buildings from the south-west. The regularity of the massing and detailing of these buildings is striking, though they are by no means identical. The top floor of the nearest warehouse is a 20th-century addition. These warehouses were occupied as whisky bonds by Macdonald & Muir in 1970. Macdonald & Muir were whisky blenders and owners of Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain. They occupied a large proportion of this long range of warehouses until the 1990s. The company has now changed its name to Glenmorangie plc. These warehouses are at the western end of a series of such buildings built to serve the East Old Docks, designed by John Rennie and built in 1800-6. These warehouses were built in about 1810, and designed by John Paterson, resident engineer at Leith Docks. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
