Caroline Park, a mansion in Cramond parish, Edinburghshire, on the Firth of Forth, ¾ mile W of Granton station. An old-fashioned grey stone edifice, with central quadrangle, it adjoins the ruins of Roystown Castle; was built in 1685; and received its present name in memory of George II.'s queen. By its owner, the Duke of Buccleuch, it is let for offices to A. B. Fleming & Co. (Limited), whose printing-ink and chemical works, a little to the W, are the largest in the world, supplying ink to most of the London and provincial papers, and also exporting it to every quarter of the globe.
