Scope and Contents

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. It is not open and is the property of the University of Edinburgh. It was built as a Chapel of East in 1755. Handwritten title on the original envelope containing the corresponding glass plate negatives was written by R. Dykes. Old container: Green Box 100

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.

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 negatives have at some stage been put in the wrong envelopes. See prints Coll-1167/B/26/18/9 and Coll-1167/B/26/19/7, where there is a reference to the Deaconess Hospital. The old Buccleuch Parish School (the building still stands, 1989) is to the...
