Scope and Contents

Engraving untitled and with no note of origin, but research has revealed that this is St. Nicholas Church, Dalkeith (14th and 15th century). Note: The Church of St. Nicholas Buccleugh - Old Kirk. There are at least two identical prints in this Church in Dalkeith. In these cases, the inscription below the picture reads ?Dedicated with permission to His Grace the Duke of Buccleugh, &c. By His Grace?s Obedt, Humble Servant, James Summers?. Drawn by James Summers. Engraved by E. Mitchell?. The church has been restored at various times, in the 17th and 18th centuries, and 1851-54. The steeple was rebuilt in 1888 following a fire in 1885. No date appears on the print but it appears to be early 19th century. Note on back reads ?490 2/Y/each 2/6? and reads on front top left hand corner ?458/45?.

Processing Information

EXCEPT ONE ITEM, THIS ENTIRE SERIES WAS NOT LOCATED DURING THE 2016-2020 STOCKCHECK. The catalogue content reproduced here is lifted from the legacy printed catalogue of "The Papers of Professor Sir Patrick Geddes at the Outlook Tower", (1998), the series having been catalogued 1990-1992 by E. C. I. Fortescue at the Outlook Tower on behalf of the Patrick Geddes Centre for Planning Studies. It has not been possible to establish when the series went missing. When stored at the Outlook Tower, this series was, predominantly, housed in drawer 3 of Plan-Chest 3 in the Scotland Room. All of the contents of drawer 4 have been located, (see Coll-1167/C/2) although these had only been listed (1991) but never fully catalogued prior to 2016. The catalogue descriptions are included here for information, and as a record of what was held at the Outlook Tower, and as the series may be uncovered when the remaining Patrick Geddes Centre for Planning Studies and associated records are catalogued in the future.
