Sorry, that's not an exact transcription. Here it is:

"HERON, James, Artist, 7 Warrender Park Crescent, Edinburgh, died 6 March 1928 at Edinburgh, testate. Confirmation Edinburgh, 20 March, to Charles Millar Heron, his brother, and Clara Heron, his sister, both of 7 Warrender Park Crescent aforesaid, Executors. Will dated 7 January recorded Edinburgh 19 March 1928.  Value of Estate, £449. 1.11"

Note: full address is 7 Warrender Park Crescent, and value of estate is £449, not £499

£449 was quite a lot of money. The CPI Inflation Calculator calculates that as equivalent to £36,046.63 in 2025! (and the Measuringworth.com site shows something close to that amount  (https://www.measuringworth.com/calculators/ukcompare/relativevalue.php?use%5B%5D=CPI&use%5B%5D=WAGE&year_early=1928&pound71=449&shilling71=&pence71=&amount=449&year_source=1928&year_result=2025)

For information regarding Scottish Wills -

Wills registered between 1925 and 1999 have not been digitised and may only be consulted in the Historical Search Room at National Records of Scotland. The printed calendar of Confirmation is the yearly Index to these Wills.
Wills from 2000 have not yet been transferred to NRS. For further information you should contact The Commissary Department, Edinburgh Sheriff Court, 27 Chambers Street, Edinburgh.

The Index is what appears on Ancestry.

Also in Scotland there is no such thing as Probate. It is called Confirmation.

Hope someone may find this useful.

Yes, that may have been your intention, but you got it wrong. You misquoted the address! There is no place Warrender Park. It's Warrender Park Crescent or Warrender Park Terrace (where we lived when I was younger). You also misquoted the value of his estate. People who are researching family history need full factual information, not misleading incomplete transcriptions. The original poster might not have access to the source you got your reference from. We don't know what resources a poster can easily access. (You say you just put in the basic information regarding his sister and brother and address - it's for the original poster to decide what information in the resource is useful).
