Building in Morningside, Edinburgh
The former Bartholomew & Son premises on Duncan Street, incorporating part of Falcon Hall
Falcon Hall was a large mansion home in Morningside , Edinburgh . It was built in 1780 by William Coulter, a wealthy hosier and baillie who served as Lord Provost of Edinburgh from 1808 until his death in 1810.[1]
Falcon Hall was set on 18 acres (7.3 ha ) between Newbattle Terrace and Canaan Lane. The property was acquired in the early 19th century by Alexander Falconar (d.1847),[2] East India Company . Falconar added a neoclassical facade by the architect Thomas Hamilton ,[3]
Dr John George Bartholomew , a co-founder of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and owner of the mapmaking company, John Bartholomew & Son Limited was a tenant of the house before 1908.
The entrance to the property stood opposite to the old school. The pillars of the gateway were each surmounted by a falcon, one each side of the gates, painted in brown and gold. The gates were removed in 1874 and reassembled to form the entrance of Edinburgh Zoo in Corstorphine .
The house was demolished in 1909, though the name Falcon was given to the streets later developed on the property.[4] Edinburgh Geographical Institute , where it remains today.[3]
