This actually shows "Murray Cottages", a (now listed) retirement housing scheme paid for by the estate of David Murray, an Edinburgh chartered accountant. According to the listing, it is "for the benefit of 'sober, respectable, men and women about sixty years'. According to the terms of the trust deed, the recipients must have spent most of their lives in Edinburgh or its immediate vicinity and preferably have belonged to the Church of Scotland."
