Statement of Interest

Group with 18 Cluny Place and 18 Cluny Avenue, 1-15 Cluny Place and 2-16 Cluny Place. The houses in Cluny Avenue and Cluny Place formed a later phase in the development of the Braid estate (see notes 1-10 Hermitage Terrace). Here the Scottish version of the Queen Anne style made way to a more wholeheartedly adoption of what was soon to become 'Stockbrocker Tudor'. The original scheme of a large cicular stableblock to the E behind Cluny Place was not realised.
