Statement of Interest

The Inventory claims that this building dates from the late 17th century: this is only evident in the masonry of the warehouse block to rear. Street front recently renovated. Part of a continuous group with 2 to 16 Canongate (see separate lisings). This building was also known as the Black Bull Inn in the 18th century, becoming the Caledonian Hotel in the later 19th century.
