Tynecastle, an Edinburgh district, on the road from the Haymarket to Gorgie, near the Dalry Cemetery, and 2 miles SW of the General Post Office. It is the seat of the Albert Works, directed by Mr Wm. Scott Morton, an architect of special skill in decorative work. Here, besides stained glass, painted tiles, art furniture, etc., is manufactured the beautiful 'Tynecastle tapestry,' which Mr Scott Morton invented, and which consists of coarse paper-backed canvas, dyed and decorated in a great variety of ways to suit for walls, ceilings, or friezes.
