Custom House Jigsaw
About
The Custom House was designed by architect Robert Reid and completed in 1812. Its purpose was to monitor Leith harbour and to ensure the payment of both Customs and Excise taxes across Scotland. It remained in use until 1980, when it was bought by the National Museum of Scotland and became a collections store. SHBT were granted a lease on Custom House in 2015 and are currently working to restore the building and adapt it for public use.
