The accompanying descriptive text in the volume begins as follows:
'Craigentinny House, the residence of Samuel Christie-Miller, Esq., is situated in the parish of South Leith, close to the village of Restalrig.
It is a building in the old Scottish baronial style of architecture, the oldest part of which was built in the sixteenth century, but was much improved by the present proprietor in 1849-50.'
The full text may be viewed from the volume which is held at the Edinburgh and Scottish Collection in Edinburgh Central Library.
Craigentinny House is now Craigentinny Community Education Centre.
Craigentinny is an area of Edinburgh located a short distance south-east of Leith. Craigentinny House is sited on Loaning Road near Restalrig. The sixteenth century mansion was built for the Nisbet family of Dean, but in the mid eighteenth century was sold to William Miller, a Quaker seed merchant. The house was extended many times in its history, but extensively in 1849. It survived the damage caused by a German bomb in 1942, is now used by Edinburgh City Council's Social Work Department.
