Paper Tiger

Built in the early 19th century by The Erskine Trustees and Sir Patrick Walker, these original buildings are part of a development of townhouses forming a plain classical row, consistent with and complementary to the wider Walker Estate between Queensferry Street and St Mary�s Cathedral. Subsequent remodeling includes a Victorian shop front with original wrought iron detailing. Number 8 was the home of John Scott Russell, a Scottish engineer, naval architect and ship builder who lead an interesting and varied career, including collaborations with Isambard Kingdom Brunel to build the Great Eastern.
