Statement of Interest

Uncertainty has arisen over the original numbering, originally listed as 1-13 (odd Nos), 1, 3 and 5 do not seem to exist: the plot between No 7 and the Forth Street block (now with garage) was perhaps intended to take them. Part of James Jollie's Broughton estate. Perhaps designed by Hugh Cairncross (see Gayfield Square). The architect is not given in the Sasines but the elevations were prepared for Jollie and the Patersons had to sign it.
