Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken on the site of a proposed re-development at Lochrin Basin (Lochrin Place), Edinburgh. The proposed building footprint was to be fully excavated in order to record the remains of the former canal basin walls and deposits. The northern wall and entrance to the basin were revealed within the excavation area along with several metres of early 20th century and modern backfill, overlying the original basin silts and clay floor. The basin silt contained numerous ceramic artefacts, such as teapots, plates, bottles and jars as well as several glass and metal objects, and several well worn leather shoes. All the items would have related to discarded objects from people on the barges or by the distillery. Furthermore, a series of 24 timber posts were also revealed to the E end of the basin excavations, representing the former wharf or quay location. Finally, out with the basin, the remains of the 18th century engine house, thought to relate to the brewery and early distillery was also revealed.
