HMS Claverhouse, Naval training establishment in Granton, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The rectangular sandstone building at 8 Granton Square features classical architectural elements with decorative details and symmetrical design along the waterfront location.
The Duke of Buccleuch initiated the construction of this waterside development in the late 1830s, which was completed in 1838 to serve ferry passengers.
The establishment played a central role in training Royal Navy reserves and Merchant Navy personnel, contributing to maritime education in Scotland.
The building now functions as headquarters for E Squadron, 205 Field Hospital, Army Cadet Force, and Edinburgh Trinity Sea Cadets.
The structure maintains its original entrance fixtures from 1838, including the lamp standards, and received category B listed status in 1970.
