Derek suggests:
"Given the redevelopment of Saughtonhall, Miss B would now be known as
'Miss Baird of Makro'".
Shouldn't the modern title be 'Ms Baird of Saughton Fort'?
Seriously, Saughtonhall in Edinburgh is not the same place as Saughton which
is a bit to the south. Saughtonhall is that area immediately to the west of
the Water of Leith at the location of Murrayfield Rugby Ground and Ice Rink.
I guess most of the houses there date from the 1920s and 30s and I'm unaware
of any substantial house remaining. If I remember correctly the
development contains a number of streets with 'Baird' in their names such as
Baird Avenue, Baird Grove etc...
