An art original.
A coat of arms and other sandstone brickwork, with the motto "R. Middlemass & Son. Limited", was saved from the former Middlemass Biscuit Factory which stood on the site of the National Library of Scotland's Causewayside Building. The facade was incorporated into an interior wall on level 7 of that building. Robert Middlemass was the founder of the Middlemass Biscuit Factory and claimed to have invented the digestive biscuit although the same claim is made for Alexander Grant, an employee of McVities & Price.
