The Linden, 51, Craigcrook Road, Edinburgh

It does look different on street view Schorsch.

The property for sale definitely says 51 Craigcrook Road.

I will check it out for you next time I am up that way but it will not be until next week now unfortunately.

Will post back when I find out.

Dorrie, the same with me. I thought it is so because of my bad english 😂

that's nice Dorrie.

Your English is excellent. My German is limited to schooldays and that was a long time ago.

Schlafen sie gut - hope I got that almost correct.

Perfect Dorrie

I remember some words but the spelling of them is another matter.

My husband speaks it quite fluently as he spent time as a child in Austria and Germany in the late 1940's but he cannot write it.

I added to and amended my last reply before I noticed all the replies and later comments - apologies.

Please read it as I think something might be wrong regarding the address.

You could be right Ruskie. Perhaps it was on the corner opposite the "trees" and was knocked down and rebuilt for some reason??

Hope to have an answer next week somwtime.

Brigitte,

You mention the year 1900. What happened at this address in 1900?  The houses in this area did not exist then.

I think we might need to look elsewhere for The Linden. What was the occpation of the householder living at this address in 1900?

Added: another possibility is that the house was elsewhere on Craigcrook Road and numbering has changed.

Scrap that idea about the other Craigcrook addresses, they are all nearby and all look like similar era houses. Maybe 30s?
