(Location cited as NS 998 817). Warehouse, Scotland's Close, built 1779. A 4-storey, 5- by 3-bay rubble block with a stair-tower on the W side and a segmental-arched doorway on the S. The interior has been reconstructed with hollow-tile floors on cast-iron columns.
J R Hume 1976.
A group of buildings parts of which are thought to date from the late 17th century, at the heart of which is a two-storeyed and attic rubble-built warehouse. At the time of survey in 2002, the buildings were in a poor condition, but retained some features including mouldings and panelling on the first floor. The premises had been acquired for restoration and development by the National Trust for Scotland (NTS), who commenced work later in 2002. The project was also preceded by an archaeological excavation.
The NTS commissioned a measured survey by the Pollock Hammond Partnership, and copies of these drawings have been deposited in the NMRS.
