The Dundonald Street drill hall was a military installation in Edinburgh.
History[]
The building was created by the conversion of a terrace of private houses into the headquarters for the Lothians and Border Horse in the early 20th century.[1][2][3] The drill hall itself was located about 130 yards to the north of the headquarters on the opposite side of the road.[1] The regiment was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front.[4] The drill hall itself was subsequently demolished and the terrace was converted back for residential use.[1]
