Flower of Scotland building finds buyer

A HISTORIC monastery where Flower of Scotland was first recorded has been sold for in excess of its asking price.

The 17th century Huguenot Temple in the New Town's Hart Street Lane, off Broughton Street, was previously the recording studio where The Corries' committed the national anthem to vinyl in the early 1970s.

The listed monastery is believed to be the only remaining Huguenot temple in Scotland.

The property has been in use as an office following a sympathetic conversion.

However, it was recently purchased by an owner occupier for conversion to a single residential dwelling.

The building was sold for more than the 220,000 asking price by Edinburgh agents Graham and Sibbald.
