Architecture Notes

NT26NW 2113 6875

This vastly altered group of buildings is situated next to the Water of Leith. Post Office Directories show that the site was owned in 1918 by A & R Scott, sole producers of Scots Porridge Oats. In 1998, when development proposals were to require widespread demolition of surviving buildings, the site included the Bonaly Dairy (disused), and a group of white (painted) two-storeyed brick-built ranges, then occupied by auction and furniture sale rooms.

Alterations were also carried out to buildings at the site by Dick, Peddie & Mackay in 1909.

Visited by RCAHMS (MKO), 20 May 1998.

Edinburgh Post Office Directory, 1918.
