There is a vets’ practice in half of the original weaving shed, built 1837 and oldest left in Scotland (?). The roofs are equal-sided and steel girders were later threaded across them to help tenters install beams into looms, and also to carry the new arrangement of line shafts. Fergusson’s took over from Rowan in 1839. The second weaving shed built in Dundee, after Baxter’s, 1836.
Information from Mark Watson, HES, 19 February 2025.
