they originally bought the massive red brick and cream house just round the corner from Donalsdwood (now Moredun) pitches on Moredun road and gave it away to some nuns

Owned Balgonie House at one time, not aware they owned Newark House at your referring too.

The La Scala, I'm sure I attended a wedding above it when I was very young?

I think you mean under the La Scala.  Next door to the cinema was the City Bakeries and if you walked through the shop you entered the tearoom.  There were stairs leading down and that was the Cafe Riche (a part of the City Bakeries), a very popular town centre venue for wedding receptions and funeral teas.  The bridal party and guests (and the mourners) all had to walk through the shop to get to the venue.

You had to either get a moble bar in or do it yourself.  As my Grampa had 5 daughters the family did it themselves.  I was a waiter when still in Primary school.
