Wood's map of 1824 is not clear on the segregation of properties. The masonry and general appearance of this building would seem to indicate a similar date to Nos 31-35. Wood shows properties to the SE side Bellfield Street (then called Melville Street) which correspond in length to Nos 31-37, but instead he shows it as 3 properties. A cast-iron plaque (above ground floor window at centre), says: "Sir Walter Scott frequently visited this house June-July 1827, then occupied by his son-in-law, Lockhart and his family".
