Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology was commissioned by the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) to carry out a comprehensive review of the understanding of the evolutionary history of Gladstone's Land, 483 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh. This was in order to develop a detailed knowledge-base of its physical fabric and of the cultural-heritage significance it embodies, to inform the future management of the property and to guide proposals for its improvement and possible alteration. The report is the first to comprehensively study and draw together the various documentary and secondary histories of the building, with a drawn survey and a full analytical assessment of the building fabric. The findings of the report confirmed the previous theories that the building was built in several stages from perhaps as early as the late medieval period. It was significantly extended southwards c.1620 with the addition of the front column of rooms with painted beam and board ceilings, probably with a timber frontage to the street. This was subsequently rebuilt in masonry to its present appearance. The newly-formed NTS purchased the building for housing in the 1930s, without knowing of the remarkable survival of the painted ceilings. Their conservation in the 1930s, which involved the removal of almost all interior features not considered authentic to the seventeenth century, revealed the ceilings concealed under later plaster. These ceilings have been restored and de-restored several times and the building itself altered internally and externally several times in the twentieth century.
