A plaque noting that Sir Walter Scott 'transacted business here with the Leith Banking Company from 1812-1832' Image On Canmore it is identified as 17 Elm Street or 2 Church Street https://canmore.org.uk/site/99728/galashiels-2-church-street-the-green, and on gb1900 mapping https://maps.nls.uk/projects/gb1900/#zoom=17&lat=55.6127&lon=-2.8071&layer=0aste there is a single building on the corner, but clearly not the one the plaque is on. So perhaps stretching a point?
