Edinburgh Newsletter July/September 2016 Edinburgh & West Lothian Services Edinburgh Newsletter Welcome to our July Newsletter The Early Onset Services are always busy at this time of the year with outings and the like. The visit that we shared to the barge with everyone the other Friday was super. A leisurely sail down the canal on a Friday afternoon sounds relaxing and it was. Thanks to Ann and Billy for helping organise a visit to Pentland Plants Garden Centre, I was amazed by all that goes on behind the scenes. We were all delighted with the result of our Care Inspectorate annual visit. We were given grade 5’s for all areas inspected. Thank you to everyone who gave feedback, it was very much appreciated. The choir did a concert with the Gorgie Community Choir with nearly 200 people present for the launch of Dementia Awareness Week. It was brilliant and a clip will be on Facebook and YouTube soon so I will let you know so those of you who would wish can view it. I live in hope of some sunshine this summer, who says it doesn’t rain on a Golf Course! If you would like to speak to me about ideas or suggestion around the services we offer, my number is 0131 551 9350.

  • Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford]
    Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour Colinton District Great War Roll of Honour: Restricted [Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford] This portion of the Edinburgh Great War Roll of Honour is part of a much larger work that will be published over a period of time. It should also be noted that this particular roll is also a restricted one of Great War casualties giving basic details of each casualty: Name, Rank, Battalion/Ship/Squadron, Regiment/Service, Number. Special awards. Cause and date of death. Age. Place commemorated or buried. Birthplace. District of Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour name is recorded in. The reason this roll is presently restricted is that we would like to invite and give the greater community the opportunity to fill out the story of each casualty, even helping identify casualties that appear on local memorials that cannot be clearly identified or have some details missing. These latter casualties appear in red with some having question marks in the area that needs to be clarified. It is also worth noting at this point that the names of some casualties appear on more than one district. The larger Roll of Honour [RoH] will also include information about those who served and survived and again the hope is that the wider community will come forward and share the story of their ancestors’ who served in the Great War, whether a casualty or survivor. The larger RoH will contain information such as: Name. Rank, Battalion/Ship/Squadron, Regiment/Service. Born when and where? Parent’s names and address.

  • Kirkliston to Cramond
    Kirkliston to Cramond Last leg of a 4-part route down the full length of the valley of the River Almond. Starts Kirkliston. Quarter hourly bus (38) from Edinburgh. Also buses 63 and 600. Varied walk: banks of R. Almond, beside the airport runway; woods, estate; coast. Distance: 14 km Walk begins at bus stop on Kirkliston High St. adjacent to The Square beside the old Parish Church. Find a narrow snicket, behind black safety railings, next to a whitewashed cottage (2 doors right of the cottage with the ‘Amulree’ wall plaque). Follow the snicket as it doglegs left and the right towards the river. You emerge from Cobblers Close onto Wellflats Rd. Bear right. After a few paces go straight over the old railway path. After a few more paces, at the Y-junction, take the right-hand road straight ahead with a neat, brown fence on the right. The road looks to be ending but keep straight ahead along a really narrow pathway between houses, with a high fence on the right. This alleyway leads to the river bank. Carry on along a most pleasant stretch of river bank until you come to a bridge. Cross over. Turn sharp left to follow reasonably close to the riverside. Keep to the thin footpath on the low levee, rather than the field edge. Soon you come to the strange set of buildings of Hallyards. Walk straight ahead, keeping to the left of buildings. There are all sorts of strange containers, old vehicles and trucks. Keep going until your way appears to be blocked, or partially blocked.

  • A Roman Burial from Cramond (Edinburgh) Rediscovered Mark Collard* & Fraser Hunter† with Contributions by D Henderson&Cwallace
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 130 (2000), 525–535 A Roman burial from Cramond (Edinburgh) rediscovered Mark Collard* & Fraser Hunter† with contributions by D Henderson&CWallace ABSTRACT A 19th-century discovery of a Roman urned cremation is reconsidered. The remains were those of an adult male younger than middle age with evidence of arthritis and a partly healed fracture. The pot used as a receptacle was a locally produced Greyware jar, most probably of Antonine date. Corrosion marks on the pot suggest the former presence of iron objects with the burial. Possible locations for such a burial are discussed within the context of Roman Cramond, and its wider place in the scanty evidence for Roman burials in Scotland is outlined. INTRODUCTION Roman burials are exceedingly rare in Scotland. A 19th-century find of an urned cremation found near Cramond, Edinburgh, was published a few years after its discovery (Macdonald 1897), at which time it was in the private collection of James Mackenzie, FSA Scot. In the publicity surrounding the discovery of the Cramond Lioness (Hunter & Collard 1997), the burial has re- emerged. Its intervening history is uncertain, but at some stage it was acquired by the Roseberys of Dalmeny, and we are grateful to Lord and Lady Rosebery for drawing it to our attention. The opportunity is taken here to present a full account of the burial, which raises a number of interesting issues. DISCOVERY The burial was discovered during ploughing in December 1889, and a paper read to this Society in May 1897, drawing on James Mackenzie’s account: he had visited the site the day after the discovery and could verify the circumstances.
