The accompanying descriptive text in the volume begins as follows:
'The mansion of Murrayfield is situated on the eastern slope of Corstorphine Hill. It is in the Parish of St Cuthberts, and is close to the western suburbs of Edinburgh. It was originally a plain old scottish mansion of moderate size, but a large addition was made to it about the end of last century by Lord Henderland, who also intended to make a corresponding wing at the other side, which plan, however, he did not carry out.'
The full text may be viewed from the volume which is held at the Edinburgh and Scottish Collection in Edinburgh Central Library.
Murrayfield is how a care home
