NMRS REFERENCE
71-91 Holyrood Road, Sculptured panels.
Information supplied by Gillian Haggart, Historic Scotland.
"Unfortunately, the tenement, though designed and built by Dunn & Findlay, post-dates the closure of Holyrood (and John Ford) Glass Works on the site, and therefore can only be linked historically to the works by virtue of its having re-used 2 sculptured panles which originally embellished the pre-existing and very elaborate 1871 building: presumably demolished to make way for this 1907 tenement (the glassworks closed in 1904). The tenement itself does not merit listing as a building of architectural, nor of historical importance, although we are in agreement with Huntly House Museum about the importance of the salvaged sculptured panels depicting glass-blowing and glass-cutting, and would hope that in the event of demolition the panels could be saved and perhaps lodged with Huntly House Museum to supplement their very extensive Glass Works collections."
July 1991
