Building Notes
In 1958 Basil Spence and Partners were commissioned by the City of Edinburgh Corporation Housing Committee to design a redevelopment scheme for Cramond Village. The Corporation had identified six sites within Cramond for redevelopment following a 1953 survey. The redevelopment plan resulted in a number of buildings having compulsory orders placed on them which led to strong opposition from local residents who commissioned Ian G Lindsay and Partners to design an alternative scheme.
The practice withdrew from the scheme in February 1959 and Ian G Lindsay and Partners eventually undertook the redevelopment of the area.
