Lucie, did you ever find a 'Musselburgh Place' in Leith?
I lived in Leith for 5 years, don't live very far away now, but i've never heard of Musselburgh Place, it's not or could'nt be anything else other than Musselburgh???
Not doubting you, just wondering!

Musselburgh Place

Post by luciealexa » Mon Oct 05, 2009 9:52 am

I've carried out extensive searching in old maps, books, photos etc for musselburgh place and have drawn a blank so far. I have lots of contacts keeping their eye out in the area, so I know one day I'll find the **** place!!!

Many thanks to all for your help.

Just to let you know i've sneaked a look in the Edinburgh and Leith PO Directory for 1893-5 and sorry but there is no mention of Musselburgh Place, not even a Mussel!!??? Nowt, ziltch, big fat zero!
It's beginning to annoy me now lol!
