Academy Lane, Loanhead
The site of a WW1 drill hall that no longer survives. 6 Academy Lane was the base for 8th Battalion, Royal Scots (F Company) Lothian and Border Horse (B Squadron) drill station. http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/WW1-Great-War-Centenary---Drill-Halls/18#lothians . There appear to have been two drill halls. The first [south] appears on an 1895 OS Map, labelled as such, on the corner of High Street and Lasswade Road [at the right of this picture]. It was demolished after the 3rd edition of the 1:25000 map. It was replaced in 1910 by another hall to the north [on the site now occupied by the new houses by the red car], and in use as a drill hall until about 1923, when it was acquired by the council and used as a community hall; it then apparently became the town hall. It was reportedly refurbished in 1974, but is clearly not there now; I have so far been unable to discover when it was demolished, but it was still there in March 2009 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.878074,-3.145525,3a,75y,11.29h,88.6t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1swbXH-P60yUt-e7Aaq3wVng!2e0!5s2009-03, but had gone, and the houses were being built by Nov. 2010.

Linden Cottage in Loanhead
The blue plaque on this cottage records the fact that the explorer and botanist George Forrest (1873-1932) left it in 1904 at the start of his first expedition to China, where he spent 17 years as a botanical collector. It also mentions that plants collected by him carry the botanical name Forrestii.
