Abstract:		 Alder Archaeology were commissioned to conduct an Historic Building Survey of a former stables at 257 Colinton Road, Edinburgh, in advance of conversion to a domestic dwelling. The proposed development includes an area of car parking and garden. The work was undertaken on 23rd March 2018 in fine weather conditions. The requirement was to create a photographic and illustrated narrative record of the building in its present state. The general fabric and form of the building suggested construction prior to 1868 (when the mansion to which the stables was attached was built); however, the 1st Edition OS map (1855) shows no buildings on the site. The rubble wall fabric bore some evidence of re-construction and the stone upper wallhead had been built up with bricks; a chimney had also been blocked, with no trace of a fireplace. It is therefore possible that an earlier outbuilding had been re-purposed. Iron horse stall fittings and drainage were still in place at the time of the survey.
