It appears, to me, to be a Marston Shed. Possibly from the former WW2 Motor Transport (MT) site which was in Griston just south of Thompson Road

From East Fortune to Leith !
Ronnie Blake started looking for a new home for his family-run blacksmith factory more than 10 years ago.
His premises, an old World War II aircraft hangar, which had been dismantled at East Fortune airfield in East Lothian and brought to Leith in the 1940s, had become so dilapidated rain would pour through the roof and wind would howl through holes in its walls.
It got so bad he dubbed it the dark Satanic mill and promised his 30-strong workforce he would find a new home for them.
However, try as he might, he was unable to find a suitable place big enough to accommodate the 82-year-old business.
So they plodded on, stopping up holes and catching rain water in buckets while hoping to find a new site.
