Thank you to Stuart Lyon who wrote, sending me the photograph above of a house in West Pilton Place in response to a question from Sonia Zhuravlyova (Prefab Houses, Recollections 31) asking if there were any remaining Swedish prefabs in Edinburgh. Stuart replied: |

West Pilton Place "Houses such as the one in the photo above were always called the 'Swedish Houses' when I grew up in Pilton in the 1950s! I don’t recall them being called prefabs but I think they were ‘kit’ houses that were contracted quicker than a traditional build. There are some of these up near Wester Hailes too.

Swedish Prefab Houses Any Memories? "If you could just reiterate that I'm looking to speak to any original inhabitants of these kit houses, then that would be great!" Sonia Zhuravlyova, England: 21 December 2015. |
