Erected in 1945, the clock at Canonmills was gifted by Archibald G Bryson, Session Clerk of St Mary’s Parish Church. The clock was designed by L Grahame Thomson, with the movement made by James Ritchie and Sons, formerly of Leith Street and Broughton Street, now at Dundas Street.

Song-A Bottle And Friend
There’s nane that’s blest of human kind,
But the cheerful and the gay, man,
Fal, la, la, &c.
Here’s a bottle and an honest friend!
What wad ye wish for mair, man?
Wha kens, before his life may end,
What his share may be o’ care, man?
Then catch the moments as they fly,
And use them as ye ought, man:
Believe me, happiness is shy,
And comes not aye when sought, man.
Robert Burns
