Guten Morgen Brigitte. Es ist sehr kald hier.

I have been going over all we have so far and assume that we can discount number 51 Craigcrook Road.
Am I correct that Wilhelm Kuhn died in 1919 in Edinburgh? I have his probate record and his address is 33 London Street, Edinburgh. Estate value £223.5.7 left to his widow Susanne Schnitzler/Kuhn. The Edinburgh Electoral Register for 1914/1915 also gives his address as 33 London Street. I presume that you have his death certificate.

Now back to Craigcrook Road. As Ruskie says it is a very long road and there has been a lot of redevelopment there over the years including the building of Blackhall Primary School and a Nursing Home.

Have you viewed 33 London Street on a map.

„Cassadale“(?)

Willing to bet that this is 'Carradale', after the village in Argyll.

The 1905 and 1915 valuation rolls list Wilhelm Kuhn as proprietor and occupier of 'The Linden', Craigcrook Road. In 1920 the proprietor was Russell Paton and the tenant and occupier was William Dods Hogg. There's no listing in 1895, so it is reasonable to suppose that it was built around 1900. The 1920 Valuation Roll lists Russell Paton as the proprietor of "House The Linden 4 Craigcrook Road", parish of Cramond, Midlothian.  (Later VRs list him as proprietor of a house called Stratheden, which seems to have been No 24).

Craigcrook Castle is still there. https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NT2174. The early 20th century 25-inch map shows it as standing on its own.

This map https://maps.nls.uk/view/75651983 was surveyed in 1895 and this one https://maps.nls.uk/view/75512828in 1905. If you compare the two, looking at the Blackhall end of the road, you can see that there had been quite a lot of building between 1895 and 1905 there, but not around the castle.

Back to the maps again ....

Because you said that The Lindens is the address after Keith Row, and the only houses nearby are these:

Maybe the one on the right is The Lindens? They look very lovely and quite large - large enough to have a name like “The Lindens”.

Street view possibly 9 Craigcrook Road? 

Brigitte, it is easy to view the maps. Just click on the link.. there is an annoying overlay which you close by clicking on the cross in the top right of the window. You can then see the side by side maps - old and current views, so you can see if the house you are interested in still stands today. You can also zoom in and out and scroll around the map.

Good morning Dorrie, here in Hamburg it is also cold, but sunny . Have you seen that i am now neighbour of Craigcrook Castle?  Have you ever been there? House "The Linden" must be nearby.

@forfarian, yes, it looks that after Wilhelm Kuhns Death , Susanne sold it.

Craigcrook Castle is quite a way away from Keith Row:

See my reply #31 above - later posts have crossed with it while I was modifying it.
