Scope and Contents Identified as the north side of Buccleuch Place, in part the site of the David Hume Tower. The school may have been in the building on the left or the title written by Alasdair Geddes may be wrong. The confusion has been made worse because some of the corresponding negatives have at some stage been placed incorrectly within their envelopes. See prints Coll-1167/B/27/18/9 and Coll-1167/B/27/19/7, where there is a reference to the Deaconess Hospital. The old Buccleuch Parish School (the...

Buccleuch Parish Church. Church on the right, Buccleuch Place beyond, looking south. This building is in Chapel Street, east of George Square beyond Windmill Lane.

Scope and Contents

The inscription on the original envelope containing the corresponding negative read "Deaconess Hospital" but negatives have previously been mis-placed in incorrect envelopes. It is more likely that the correct title comes from another envelope (originally Green Box, negative 86) titled "Near Bristo Street" which, although not very accurate, could apply here. Handwritten title on the original envelope containing the corresponding glass plate negatives was written by R. Dykes.
