Scope and Content Belford Cabinet Works (Sunbury Works/Whytock & Reid), Sunbury Place, Edinburgh This shows the open-sided timber store from the north-west, looking from the entrance. This was used for storing and seasoning timber to be used in cabinet-making. The works belonged in 1970 to Whytock & Reid. Whytock & Reid were leading cabinetmakers and upholsterers in Edinburgh until the late 20th century. In the 1990s they sold the complex for house-building. This timber store was carefully dismantled and has been re-erected at Summerlee Heritage Park, Coatbridge. This complex was built in the 1886, on the site of the Sunbury Distillery founded in about 1813 by James Haig, and one of the largest distilleries in early 19th-century Scotland. It was superseded in 1856 by the opening of the Caledonian Distillery at Haymarket. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
