HYNDLAND

This part of the bishop's lands was bought by Rae Crawford in 1799. In 1875 his descendant William Stuart Stirling Crawford had a feu plan prepared by John Carrick, later the City Architect but sold the estate the next year to a partnership, four members of an Edinburgh Bruce family. They feued two groups of plots to William Robertson, an Edinburgh builder for two terrace blocks at the top of Kingsborough Gardens: Hanover Terrace and Hanover Terrace North. Robertson died before their completion. William Benzie acquired the rest of the Kingsborough Gardens site and built the red terraced houses on most of the plots before 1910, the remaining plot being taken up by the city after the Second World War. James Barr prepared a new feuing plan for the main part of Hyndland, west of Hyndland Road, in 1897. The following year the 'measurers' Duncanson & Henderson set up The Western Property Company, which developed superior tenements there, mainly by John Campbell McKellar, and all were complete by 1910.
