(Location cited as NT 497 358). Waverley Ironworks, founded before 1744 by the Aimers family. The old offices are in a 2- and 3-storey and attic, 4-bay rubble building. At the rear are single-storey machine and erecting shops, and a foundry, now disused, with two sold-bottom cupolas. In the yard is a hand-operated, rail-mounted frane, with cast-iron frame and wooden jib, said to have come with Mr MacLean from the Forth Railway Bridge contract, c. 1890.
