Company History
Since its incorporation in 1871 this company has operated as an investment company specialising in property. Amongst earlier projects were investment of £15,000 in the Dunblane Hydropathic, though in 1884 it claimed the land, buildings and furnishings as the hydropathic proved insufficient to provide the money for the bond. A book advert from 1955-56 lists the company as operating in Aberdeen as well as Edinburgh, and the company appears to have operated in the Aberdeen area for some while.
