Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a level 1 historic building survey on a range of buildings off Kirk Loan, Corstorphine. The buildings consist of a stable with associated workshops and storage, and a later double garage, arranged around a small courtyard. A basic written and photographic survey was completed, and describes several phases of construction on the site. Map evidence does not provide significant new information, but a likely chronology has been suggested. The boundary wall to the S is likely the oldest structure on the site, possibly dating from before the mid 18th century. A stable block and a row of dwelling houses were later built, and may have served a larger house to the NE. Around the turn of the 20th century, tenement development blocked access to the stables, resulting in the construction of a pend and an extension of the hay loft to the W, providing access from Kirk Loan. Further utility buildings were added, and later a large double garage. Jürgen van Wessel (Headland Archaeology Ltd) 2010 |
