This image is taken from the Dumbiedykes Survey that was carried out in 1959 for the Libraries and Museums Committee of Edinburgh Town Council. The survey was to record the buildings of the area before their demolition and reconstruction after 1964. Dumbiedykes is an area of central Edinburgh bordered by Holyrood Park to the east and Holyrood Road to the north. The area and road take their name from the Academy for the Deaf and Dumb established by Thomas Braidwood around 1764 and closed in 1783 (known as Dummie/Dumbie House). Today the name most often refers specifically to the housing estate in the area which comprises two tower blocks, Lockview Court and Holyrood Court, and other housing.
