“Jaunty blocks of international style flats on a butterfly plan complete with roof gardens, canopies, balconies and curving garages. Partially clever design incorporating up-to-date labour saving devices. Must have caused quite a stramash amidst the douce the douce, opulent villas of the Dykes…” C. McKean, The Scottish 30’s, (1987, pp 165-166).

Ravelston Garden comprises 3 identical blocks, each with 16 individual flats.
