Situated off St Leonard's Street near SW limits of the Queen's Park. Hermits and Termits originally the name of the district. 'Hermits' probably derived from association with Abbey of Holyrood; 'Termits' possibly derived from a word for an overseer of section of farm ground. Became part of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith railway. Taken over by Lothian Regional Council 1968, subsequently becoming derelict. Bought and restored by Ben Tindall from 1980.
