Statement of Interest

Prior to the mid eighteenth century, some ribbon development had existed along (what is now) Buccleuch Street and Causewayside, an early approach road to the Old Town of Edinburgh from the south.

The planned development of George Square from 1766 and construction of the North Bridge in 1772 followed by the South Bridge in 1788, (linking the New Town to the Southside), gave impetus for tenemental development in this area from the second half of the eighteenth century.

Estates along Buccleuch Street were feued from this period in an irregular fashion.

Industrial development appeared in the area from the early nineteenth century.

The tenement at 105 Buccleuch Street first appears on the Ordnance Survey map of 1849.

Listed building record and statutory address updated (2015). Previously listed as '105 Buccleuch Street'
