The Scottish Co-Operative Wholesale Society (SCWS) premises concentrated around Seagate, and the main reminder is a block built in 1934 by Co-op architect Cornelius Armour. Note the Crittall windows and galley prow. Converted to flats in 1992. Other SCWS warehouses nearby include a single-storey range bearing a clock, 1914. A sugar refinery (c.1790-1820) on both sides of Seagate is recalled by Sugarhouse Wynd, and there was a brief attempt to operate a glassworks near here (the glass cone is represented in the Dundee penny, 1799).
