The Botanic Cottage was taken down from its site on Haddington Place, Leith Walk, Edinburgh in 2008-9. The salvaged stone and timber was removed to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE). Successful lottery application and other funding was granted to re-build the cottage within the RBGE for educational activities. Work on site commenced in 2014. The original cottage will have two new wings increasing the size of the facilities. The intention has been by the RBGE and Simpson and Brown Archts to rebuild as much as possible of the cottage using eighteenth century methods, to this end a number of students of Georgian architecture have visted and worked on the site.
