The dormerheads are shaped in the manner of Dutch gables and are quite distinctive. Queensferry has a long trading history with Holland: the bell at the Old Parish Church was cast by Michael Burgerhaus in Holland. The remodelling of the ground floor was clearly contemporary to that at No. 12 Edinburgh Road.
