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.

Inverleith Conservation Area Management Plan
INVERLEITH CONSERVATION AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN 1 Introduction 1.1 Section 61 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 defines conservation areas as “areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance” and places a duty on local planning authorities to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of these areas. The implications of conservation area status are detailed in the Section 6. 1.2 The Inverleith Conservation Area was designated in October 1977.

Proposed Cycle and Pedestrian Improvements, Between Inverleith Place and the Goldenacre Path
Proposed cycle and pedestrian improvements, between Inverleith Place and The Goldenacre Path Issue: QuietRoute 20 is an important part of Edinburgh’s network of routes for walking and cycling. The levels of traffic on parts of QuietRoute 20 are too high to meet the standards of the QuietRoute network. Purpose and context: The scheme will make it easier, safer and quicker for people walking and cycling along Inverleith Place, Inverleith Row and Warriston Gardens, travelling between Warriston Gardens and The Goldenacre Path, and as part of wider journeys in the north of the city. This will help people travelling on foot and by bicycle to reach local and key destinations, including schools, workplaces, shops and parks. The Council is developing a network of cycle routes across the city, called the ‘QuietRoutes’ network. We know that heavy or fast traffic is the most significant barrier preventing people who want to cycle from doing so. To address this the QuietRoutes are designed so that people can cycle without having to travel in heavy or fast traffic. QuietRoute 20 links Inverleith, the Royal Botanic Garden, Canonmills, Leith Walk, Easter Road, Lochend Park and Restalrig on quiet roads and traffic free paths. Proposed scheme: The Council is proposing: • A segregated cycleway along Inverleith Place; • Improvements to crossing facilities at the junction of Inverleith Place, Arboretum Road and Arboretum Place; • A new signalised crossing on Inverleith Row, to the south of its junction with Inverleith Place; • A segregated cycleway on the east side of Inverleith Row between Inverleith Place and Warriston Gardens; • A new ramp to connect Warriston Gardens and The Goldenacre Path.

Hidden Treasures of the Water of Leith
No 56 Autumn 2012 Hidden Treasures of the Water of Leith The Water of Leith has a fascinating heritage and this summer we launched a special exhibition and family fun day to celebrate the unique archaeology, geology and industrial heritage of the river. Ulriika and Abi, who have joined us for the summer, spent months researching the history of the river from its source in the Pentland Hills down to Slateford. They created 10 information posters on the following subjects: The River’s Geology, A Tribal Land (early settlements along the river), Ancient Discoveries (celebrating the archaeology of the river), Historic Wonders (the special features, monuments and bridges of the river), and Mill Heritage, which included a collection of all the items made in the mills. Finally the history of the villages of Balerno, Currie, Juniper Green, Colinton and Slateford was revealed. The exhibition was opened on 22nd July along with a special fun day, which formed part of the British Festival of Archaeology. Around 100 visitors enjoyed the day and were treated to many fun ‘historical’ activities. We created a Bronze Age camp in the Dells complete with fire lighting from flint, an authentic shelter, hunting games and creating nettle string. Visitors could try their hand at Archaeology on a dig, metal detecting, and fossil hunting near Bogs Bridge. At the Centre visitors tried their hands at ancient crafts, grinding grain into flour and could dress up in Bronze-Aged costumes courtesy of Historic Scotland. We had expertise from Edinburgh Geological Society and Archaeology Scotland, and lots of help from our volunteers and staff who all helped to make it a really special day.

LOCATION, SETTING AND EXTENT A small site located on the north section of Warriston Road, east side, opposite Warriston Cemetery, in the north of the city. The walls of East Warriston and the cemetery enclose the road north of railway bridge over the former Edinburgh and North Leith railway, now a cycle track, that forms the southern boundary of the allotments. Views southwards to the city centre are limited by trees in the crematorium and further south. Site area 1.5ha. MAIN PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT House and estate landscape – early 18th century and early 19th century; crematorium – 1920s and 1960s. HISTORY OF LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT The earliest mention of Warriston estate is 1467 (Harris 620).
