Our April Newsletter. We Hope Everyone Had a Lovely Easter Welcome to our April Newsletter. We hope everyone had a lovely Easter and enjoyed the spring sunshine over the last few weeks. ELGT is delighted to have started our outdoor classes and groups again this month. It has been wonderful welcoming you all again and seeing familiar faces and being able to catch up with everybody. As restrictions continue to ease, we intend to offer more activities to the communities we serve throughout South Edinburgh. In the meantime, we would like to thank you for your patience and support over the last few months. If there is anything you think we could do, or if you would like to discuss matters further, then please do not hesitate to get in touch through our contact page. In this newsletter... This edition of the newsletter will follow the recent activities Shale Trail Update New trees planted at Castleview Primary School Healthy Lifestyle Activities Craigmillar Castle Park Activities Tree Time Shale Trail Update Did you know that the Shale Trail is available to view on Google Maps. You can now plan your next visit along the 16-mile trail. The trail has been reimagined for walkers and cyclists with access to new exciting paths. With access to Greendykes, the Five Sisters, bings and the abandoned quarries re-inhabited by nature are particular highlights of the trail. More information about the Shale Trail can be found here. New trees planted at Castleview Primary School We were delighted to have planted new fruit trees in the grounds of Castleview Primary School this month thanks to a generous donation from Soroptimist International. The trees will provide a bird-friendly environment that will supply them with natural food, as well as attracting other creatures, including bees and butterflies. We hope everyone enjoys seeing the new trees grow and blossom. You can keep up to date with the latest Tree Time news on Facebook and Twitter. Healthy Lifestyle Activities Oxgangs Walking Group This month the Oxgang's Walking Group enjoyed a walk through the old City Hospital. Everyone loved the change of scene, and, above all, the wonderful chats we had on the way. We were also pleased to be joined by community champion Karen from Hunter's Tryst Morrisons. We cannot wait for our next walking session. Move and Groove and Garden Session The Out and About team were delighted to bring our Move and Groove classes back to the local communities in South Edinburgh. It was amazing to see everyone again at our outdoor family session. We started with a Move & Groove class to get everyone warmed up. You can watch our dance moves at the class here. The group then moved to the community garden and did some gardening and tidying up. It was a fantastic, sunny day to get out in the garden of Goodtrees Neighbourhood Centre. We had a lovely time chatting about future garden plans and improvements. Thank you to everyone who helped, we really appreciate it. The garden looks terrific! Tree Planting in Moredun Trees were planted at the Goodtrees Community Centre in Moredun this month. The Out and About team loves working with such fantastic people at Goodtrees. The young volunteers planted apple, cherry, and plum trees in the back of the community centre. There are many excellent plans to create a new exciting communal space outdoors. Well done to everyone who was involved, you did a fantastic job! Upcoming Events: Tuesday at 10am - Oxgangs Walking Group Wednesday at 10am - Goodtrees Jogging Group Please note that all activities should be booked in advance. More activities coming soon including new walking groups, buggy walks, gardening and environmental enhancements in Moredun, Gilmerton, Dumbiedykes and Oxgangs.

Craigmillar Castle Park Activities Youth Work The youth work activities with Sandys Community Centre and Craigmillar Community Grows have been an amazing success so far. Everyone has worked tirelessly to ease the impact on our young people at these uncertain times. We had lots of fun creating crafts and catching up with one another.

It was so nice to be back out with the Craigmillar Walking Group and Craigmillar Community Grows. It was a glorious day to be outside and enjoy a walk!

When going out for your daily exercise we would love you take photos of the blossoming trees across the city and share them to us using the tag @TreeTimeEdin via Facebook or Twitter.

This thesis represents my own original composition, which has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. __________________________________________________ Christa B. Tooley Abstract Through uneven processes of planning by a multiplicity of participants, Edinburgh’s built environment continues to emerge as the product of many competing strategies and projects of development. The 2005 proposal of a dramatic new development intended for an area of the city’s Old Town represents one such project in which many powerful municipal and commercial institutions are invested.

Such a book should be as mxich historical as descriptive. For Edinburgh is not less richly endowed with memories than with beauty ; and its present can be read only in the light of its past. At no time have the builder and improver—those scene-shifters in the drama of modern town life—been busier in sweeping romance, along with stone and lime, into the dust-bin ; and every year familiar features of the streets and closes are drafted from the list of the city's sights into that of the city's memories. The opening of the new North Bridge offers a natural starting-point for the survey and retrospect ; it promises—or threatens—to bring in its train changes almost as great as those that make the construction of the first bridge across the valley between Old and New Edinburg an era in the history of " mine own romantic town." For the illustrations of the volume thanks are due to Mr.
