Standing Building Recording (21 August 2007 - 15 September 2007)
NT 2599 7523 A historic building survey (Level 2) was undertaken on 21 August 2007 at the former Crawford's Bakery. This work was requested by the City of Edinburgh Counci Archaeology Service (CECAS) in order to provide a record of the former bakery before the site is developed and the buildings demolished. The work involved a desk-top study investigating the history of the building, the compilation of a comprehensive
photographic record of the building, an analysis of the building's construction and phasing and an analysis of available architect's drawings.
The bakery dates to around 1930. It was extended around 1956 and further altered and extended around 1969, when it became a 'cash and carry' (wholesaler), and again around 1989, when it became a furniture showroom. The building is currently vacant and awaiting demolition.

Archaeological Evaluation (21 March 2013)
An archaeological evaluation took place on brownfield land at McDonald Road, Edinburgh. The Evaluation took place on the morning of the 21st of March 2013 in sunny weather and good archaeological visibility. Trenches were laid out in order to take an even sample of 10% of the development area, and were excavated using a 13 tonne tracked 360 degree excavator, using a two metre wide ditching bucket. No significant archaeological material or features were detected, other than large scale landscaping and backfilling, attributed to modern sand extraction.
