Statement of Interest

Group with 16, 17 Cluny, 18 Cluny Place and 18 Cluny Avenue and 1-15 Cluny Place. Cluny Place formed part of the later phase of the development of the Braid estate (see notes 16, 17 Cluny Avenue). The terrace also apparently influenced James Hutton of Dundee in his design of 1-5 Station Terrace, Invergowrie, circa 1900.
