Together with numbers 1-2 and 4-7 Rustic Cottages, forms a picturesque group along Colinton Road, the main road into Colinton from Edinburgh. Built for J J Galletly, who owned Inchdrewer house (299 Colinton Rd). These cottages were perhaps influenced by Kirkton Cottages, Fortingall, Perthshire by James Maclaren. Lorimer also designed similar cottages for Linlithgow Bridge in 1899, and the boat-shaped dormer is found in a number of his other buildings.
