As part of an ongoing development of Saughton Park AOC was required to monitor the excavation of a pipe trench running from the gardeners compound to the glasshouses. These works are a continuation of the monitored topsoil strip and excavation within the gardeners compound completed in late summer 2017. During the works seven truncated sandstone walls were discovered along with a mortar surface with sandstone kerbing. These structures existed out with the plan of Saughtonhall house but are likely to still relate to 19th Century features within the grounds.
