Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a programme of archaeological works on a site at 396 Gorgie Road, Edinburgh. The work was required to support a planning application (Planning Ref 11/02827/FUL) for a proposed development. The excavation demonstrated that there were multiple phases of activity on the site starting with the construction of a mill wall, lade and operation of timber-lined tanning pits during the early 19th century. The site continued in development with the construction and operation of a set of mill buildings in the mid to late 19th century which were restructed on multiple occasions into the 20th century.

During the excavation no features relating to earlier periods were encounted and the presence of the natural geology seen directly beneath the tanning pits indicated that nothing earlier had survive the development process during the 18th and 19th centuries.
