About

The only pre-Reformation building in this part of Leith, St Ninian’s Manse has occupied this site since 1493. It was built as a clerical residence to accompany St Ninian’s Chapel (and, later, St Ninian’s Church), which occupied the site behind the building where Quayside Mills stand today. The prominent stair tower, topped with a Dutch-style lead belfry, was added in the 17th century.
