Edinburgh
In Person
The Georgian villa of James Smith, the merchant who laid out Smith’s Place in 1814, has belonged to Raimes Clark & Co Ltd since 1835. It is home to the Head Office of Lindsay & Gilmour Pharmacies and remains a very fine surviving example of a Leith merchant’s house. It retains many of its original features such as the oval central staircase, Adam fireplaces and the oldest surviving walled garden in Leith.
Lindsay & Gilmour Pharmacy are celebrating their bicentenary this year, while Raimes Clark dates back even further to 1816. In addition to tours of the building there will be displays of old pharmaceutical artifacts documents and equipment.
There will be tours of the building and exhibitions on the hour.
