• Notes

  Thomas Jameson was a wealthy shipowner, merchant and burgess of the city of Edinburgh [4] In the Sheriff Brae (then an area, now a street in Edinburgh) there was an extensive soap manufactury carried on by the old firm of Jameson and Auld. The date of the building is shown on a stone in the wall opposite to Mr Darge?s public house-built in 1583. Rebuilt by T.J (Thomas Jameson) 1800-which shows it must have been a very old establishment. Mr Jameson was a brother of Professor Jameson of the Natural History Chair of the University of Edinburgh. Mr Auld was long in the service of the Hudson Bay Company and for some years a magistrate in Leith under the old system. The soap work was latterly carried on by William Taylor and Co whose name can still be seen on the gateway. The premises are now partly owned by Mr George Taylor, dairyman [5]
