The Goad maps just published by @natlibscotmaps are beautiful works of the commercial mapmaker& #39;s art. But my favourite thing is the exquisite detail they record. They were made for insurance purposes so catalogued the uses and in cases construction of premises.
Lauchlan Rose& #39;s Lime Juice Warehouse, for instance. We all knew that concentrated juice was invented in Leith, right?
Perhaps one of the more sinister buildings in the city. Part of the "Corporation Slaughter House". (As an aside, CSH did a great Peel Set back in & #39;77)
Bacon? That& #39;ll be the 1st floor. Flour? 2nd. Or is it grain you are after?
