Scope and Content Warehouses, No 45 Maritime Street, Edinburgh This shows the buildings from the south-west. Note the empty whisky hogsheads in the yard on the right. The nearer building has had a storey added, perhaps in the 1890s, but the body of the building looks as though it was built in the first half of the 19th century, possibly as a wine store. The farther warehouse appears to be more regularly fenestrated, and may be later than this one. In the 1940s they were occupied by McDonald, Greenlees & Co and other firms in The Distillers' Co Ltd's empire. The southern part of Maritime Street was largely rebuilt in the 1890s, during the whisky boom, with warehouses for whisky storage and blending. These warehouses are on the east side at the south end of the street. These ones appear, however, to be earlier. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
