Statement of Interest

Following the completion of the South Bridge in 1788, which linked the northern New Town and the Southside of Edinburgh, residential development to the south of Edinburgh expanded considerably. The lands of Newington were developed from the late eighteenth century as a residential suburb, comprising mainly detached villas.

The house at 71 Dalkeith Road first appears on the Ordnance Survey map of 1852 on a site formerly known as Rosehall.

Listed building record and statutory address updated (2015). Previously listed as '71 Dalkeith Road including boundary walls and pedestrian gate'.
