NT27SE 638.05 25161 73711
There is no evidence on the ground of the original bandstand which stood approximately where the front of the stage of the present Ross Bandstand now stands (NT27SE 238.01).
The octagonal bandstand had a domed and swept copper roof with cast iron supports and bannister.
The building was demolished prior to the construction of the Ross Bandtsand.
The building is not depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Edinburghshire, 1852, sheet 3), but does appear on the 1st edition of the 25-inch OS map (1896, ibid), and annotated 'Band Stand'. The subsequent editions of the OS 25-inch maps up to 1931 show the bandstand with additional terracing.
