    72/1 Restalrig Road South RESTALRIG, EDINBURGH, EH7 6LE 0131 524 9797 THE Location Restalrig EDINBURGH, EH7 6LE Like so many other parts of the city, this spot was, at one time, an independent village. However, as the city grew, the village was absorbed and it is now surrounded by other residential districts such as Lochend, Meadowbank, and Craigentinny. It is exclusively residential in nature and really Craigentinny Golf Course Meadowbank Shopping Park Meadowbank Sports Centre very conveniently located, being some two miles to the east of the city centre, just to the north of London Road. Within the village, there are a number of small shops attending to most daily requirements along with a rather large branch of Scotmid. There are good alternatives at Jock’s Lodge and only a little further on is a very large branch of Morrisons. At Jock’s Lodge, there are also Post Offi ce and banking services. Should all of these prove insuffi cient, it really is a simple matter to travel directly into Leith or Portobello to take advantage of all the facilities provided by these locations. For that matter, it is just as simple to travel straight into the city centre. Local amenities include Meadowbank Sports Stadium which provides excellent indoor and outdoor facilities, Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat which provide country like walks virtually on the doorstep; on the far side of Holyrood Park lies the Commonwealth Pool, whilst in the opposite direction lie the Holyrood Park Lochend Park golf courses of Portobello and Craigentinny. 72/1 Restalrig Road South RESTALRIG, EDINBURGH, EH7 6LE “..

  • Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links
    Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organization (SCIO) SC045955 N E W S L E T T E R 47 Autumn 2017 Editor's comment Your new Convener As you will all know by now, at the Annual General Meeting on 23 June a new Convener was elected: Andy Devenport very kindly agreed to accept the poisoned chalice. There is so much to do, and so little time to do it in, and Andy has a full-time job as well as various other voluntary commitments, but there is no one who is more familiar with the Meadows and Links than he is, since he has lived here since he was a child, and it is great that he has taken over from me, who only came to Scotland from 'down south' in 2003. At the AGM we also welcomed several new Trustees, enlarging our geographical remit to include members of Community Councils at the eastern end of the Meadows, and so enabling us to be fully representative of the whole area. Park Rangers We work together with the Park Rangers to do voluntary work, and were distressed when their number was cut from three to two in the Meadows and Links. At our August work party Jimmy Forrest did sterling work with us tidying up the area around the Croquet Pavilion, which we took further at the end of September, sadly without him. Jimmy is now in the Royal Infirmary after a motorbike accident. We have sent messages to him wishing for a good recovery, but it seems that this will take many months.

  • ARTHUR's SEAT VOLCANO Site of Special Scientific Interest
    SNH Silvan House ARTHUR’S SEAT VOLCANO 3rd Floor East Site of Special Scientific Interest 231 Corstorphine Road Edinburgh EH12 7AT SITE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT Tel: 0131 316 2600 Fax: 0131 316 2690 Site code: 91 e-mail: [email protected] Purpose This is a public statement prepared by SNH for owners and occupiers of the SSSI. It outlines the reasons it is designated as an SSSI and provides guidance on how its special natural features should be conserved or enhanced. This Statement does not affect or form part of the statutory notification and does not remove the need to apply for consent for operations requiring consent. We welcome your views on this statement. Description of the site Arthur’s Seat Volcano Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is notified for its geological and botanical interests. The SSSI consists of three separate areas in and around the centre of Edinburgh. Holyrood Park, comprising Arthur’s Seat hill itself, is the largest area, occurring to the south east of the city centre, while the smaller Calton Hill and Castle Rock form the high ground of the city centre landscape. The small composite volcano of Arthur’s Seat is one of the most studied ancient volcanoes in the world. All the component parts of a typical strato-volcano are well displayed and the sequence of eruptions can be traced with a continuity unique in Britain. The volcano consists of five vents from which separate lava flows were produced at various times. The volcanic rocks can be divided into three general groups: lavas, volcanic debris (such as ash and agglomerate) and basic intrusions, where the magma below the earth’s surface was squeezed upwards or between sedimentary rock layers but did not reach the earth’s surface.

The Act makes provision for the designation of conservation areas as distinct from individual buildings, and planning authorities are required to determine which parts of their areas merit conservation area status. There are currently 39 conservation areas in Edinburgh, including city centre areas, Victorian suburbs and former villages. Each conservation area has its own unique character and appearance. Character Appraisals The protection of an area does not end with conservation area designation; rather designation demonstrates a commitment to positive action for the safeguarding and enhancement of character and appearance.

Early Golf in Scotland The modern game of golf we understand today is generally considered to be a Scottish invention. A spokesman for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, one of the oldest Scottish golf organisations, said "Stick and ball games have been around for many centuries, but golf as we know it today, played over 18 holes, clearly originated in Scotland." The word golf, or in Scots language gouf, is usually thought to be a Scots alteration of Dutch "colf" or "colve" meaning "stick, "club", "bat", itself related to the Proto-Germanic language *kulth- as found in Old Norse kolfr meaning "bell clapper", and the German Kolben meaning "mace or club".The Dutch term Kolven refers to a related sport.
