Statement of Interest

L-plan houses were popular during the 17th century for larger properties; Plewlands House in South Queensferry is a fine example of the genre. Although much altered 9 Edinburgh Road has still retained its early plan. The N wing gable end appears to have had its pitch altered. A steeper pitch is suggestive of a 17th century date and the small windows are also typical of later 17th century dwelling houses. The windows on the front elevation are larger and probably date from a later alteration, the symmetrical composition of the elevation suggests a later 18th century date for the changes.
