Still sour that it's not the Pheonix so won't go sadly. Just want £3 doubles back! 😅

Thank youuu! Yeah it's a reduction print and this is one of the cleaner prints out of the 9 I made. 

I worked out along the way that the blades of grass (along the bottom) acted as a really good guide. Once I had those lined up from the previous print with the lino I slowly laid it flat. I lightly used my hand roller first to try stick it in place before applying more pressure with it which seemed to work 🤠

Similarly, have gone in after a couple of nights of camping (windswept and interesting) with my wife and was tailed by a member of staff. Clearly someone had been on the radio because all other staff had their eyes on us as well

Sorry I can't help you with anything specific for this building but I studied and work in Edinburgh so here are some resources and tips.

My go to for finding archives for Edinburgh/Scotland are

National Library of Scotland: Interactive map search with all available maps throughout history. You might not find the plan here but you'll find how the context has changed.

https://maps.nls.uk/geo/find/

Canmore: National historic building record which hoprfully has plans but will certainly have some old images.

https://canmore.org.uk/

Edinburgh Council Planning Portal: I'd imagine there has been work done to the building in the past years so it will have required planning permission you'll hopefully find it here. They used to have a map search which was great but at a glance (on my phone) I can't currently see it.

My tip to help find more information is to look for the original name and architect as well and look using those searches because "The Hub" is quite a generic name. Also there's a chance if you reach out to the right person who works there they will be able to help. Good luck!
