The following details are from Leonie Paterson, Archivist at Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh:
'Yes, this is at RBGE - the area where the Botanic Cottage is now, to the north of the Garden used to be the Forestry Nursery c. 1920s - this photo is taken in the Forestry nursery, looking east - Inverleith Place is to the photographer's left, and that house is the first house you see looking that way from the nursery.
