Edinburgh, Haddington Place, General

NT 262 747 A standing building survey of the derelict 18th-century Botanic Cottage was carried out May 2008–

January 2009. The project aimed to record the building prior to its dismantling and to provide information to

enable its future rebuilding. A phase of monitoring and additional recording was also undertaken during the

controlled demolition of the cottage. This allowed the detailed recording of original features and constructional

details that had survived later alterations. Further archaeological investigative work is planned prior to the

redevelopment of the site.
