Carved Stone, 65 Nicolson Street.
Built into the S wall of a modern extension of Messrs. Miller and Richard's premises is a finely cut pre-Reformation lintel, moulded and inscribed. At one end is a shield, bearing a merchant's mark and flanked by the initials I and E, which are linked to it by a tasselled cord. The inscription IESVS MARIA follows in raised letters with a rose-slip, trefoil-slip, and thistle-slip, respectively, at either end and in the centre.
