About 0.31 acres in all EPC Rating = F Penicuik 4.4 miles, Edinburgh city centre 10 miles, Edinburgh Airport 12.4 miles Viewing Strictly by appointment with Savills – 0131 247 3738. Directions From Edinburgh take the A702 towards West Linton. Once past Easter Howgate, turn right at the signs for Flotterstone and the Flotterstone Inn. Continue on this road, passing the parking area on the right, and entering the Glencorse Reservoir Park. Continue up the hill road until you come to the property on the left hand side. Situation Glencorse Reservoir is a true calm oasis situated on the outskirts of the bustling Edinburgh city centre. Created between 1820 and 1824, the reservoir supplied water for the mills in Auchendinney, Milton Bridge and Glencorse, also supplying drinking water to Edinburgh. When created, the reservoir submerged St Catherine’s Chapel, of which the top of the spire can sometimes be spotted when the reservoir is at a lower level. The area is popular with walkers and cyclists due to the range of trails and paths surrounding the reservoir, all offering spectacular views of the countryside. There is extensive walking further into the Pentland Hills Regional Park. Recreational facilities and outdoor pursuits are well catered for within the area. Trout fishing on the reservoir is available in season between March and October, and Hillend dry ski slope is 4 miles away towards Edinburgh. Glencourse Golf Course is located in nearby Milton Bridge, with other courses located at Rutherford Castle and West Linton. Pheasant and grouse shooting can be arranged on estates to the south and there is both National Hunt and flat racing at Musselburgh Racecourse. The historic town of Penicuik, once a centre for paper mills, is located 4.4 miles south of Glen Cottage. The town offers a wide range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, primary and secondary schools, leisure facilities and a thriving art and craft scene. These services are further enhanced in nearby Roslin, and Straiton. All the fee paying schools in Edinburgh are within easy reach. The property is extremely well situated for access to the Edinburgh City Bypass (A720) and the city centre (8 miles). The bypass is 4 miles to the north and gives access to the south, east and west of the city, Edinburgh International Airport and the motorway network. The A702 and A701 provide good links to the M74 to the south. Description Available on the market for the first time since it was built, Glen Cottage is a truly unique property. Built in 1860 for the reservoir manager, it is a charming three bedroom detached house with spectacular, undisturbed views over the reservoir. The property is constructed from local stone, and intricate and sculpted decorations found on the exterior of the property are thought to have been crafted by former inhabitants of the house. Level with the reservoir, the main part of the property has fantastic views over the water to the island and hills beyond, with a further basement area that looks out onto the overflow from the reservoir which joins into Glencorse Burn. A gravel parking area with paved path leads up to the front of the property, where a stone arched porch shelters the front door. The entrance hall provides access to the kitchen and dining room to the right, sitting room to the left, and three bedrooms and bathroom towards the rear of the property. The recently renovated kitchen features base and wall units with integrated appliances and overlooks the front driveway. The sitting room’s dual aspect windows overlook the front and side garden towards the outbuilding. The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and overlooks the reservoir. An open fire set in a low lying stone wall provides warmth to the room, whilst also heating the hot water tank, enclosed in an adjacent cupboard. The master bedroom is located to the rear of the property on the left hand side, and has both a press and larger walk in cupboard. A bathroom is adjacent and has WC, basin and bath. Originally one larger bedroom, the two further bedrooms are separated by a partition wall, with both featuring scenic views over the reservoir. Accessed from outside, and down a slight hill, a large basement area, currently used as three stores, was once an integrated part of the floorplans house with staircase leading down from hallway above. The door is IN framed by an impressive stone carved archway.

    Scottish Water: Glencorse WTW E:letter 19 Introduction It has been three months since the previous e:letter, in this intervening time the Glencorse project has made steady progress through the 2009 winter. At an elevation of approximately 650 feet above sea level, the weather by Penicuik this winter has been very fresh at times and also white with snow! Nonetheless, the landscape at Glencorse has been transformed by the construction work currently taking place. The project is highly visible from the surrounding area by the large tower cranes that are now visible above the skyline. Regular progress has been captured with photographs updated monthly on our project website (www.scottishwater.co.uk/glencorse). Work on the ground Significant progress has been made in constructing the Glencorse Water Treatment Works building. As of this week, we have started construction of our Clear Water Tank (treated water storage reservoir). This begins with a large earth moving phase whereby we will be digging a hole to accommodate the large concrete tank, which will then be buried after construction. A summary of some of our recent work at Glencorse is below: Completed Works Water mains diversions by the A702 completed as planned. Remaining overhead power lines at Glencorse removed as planned. Site offices and welfare units for workforce fully established. Tower cranes erected. Water Treatment Works (WTW) excavation completed. Civil construction (concrete) of WTW foundations complete. Ongoing/Planned Works Civil construction of WTW walls, tanks and channels Excavation of Clear Water Tank commences Export of excess subsoil commences Civil construction of foundations for Clear Water Tank to commence in early summer.

  • 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.

  • MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL ARCHIVES the BRYCE COLLECTION GB584/BRY Name of Creator the Bryce Family of Roslin Biographical History This
    MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL ARCHIVES THE BRYCE COLLECTION GB584/BRY Name of creator The Bryce family of Roslin Biographical history This collection of photographs and photographic glass plates is named after the Bryce family of Roslin. From about 1880 to the Second World War, two generations of the family lived and worked in a draper’s shop and post office on Roslin High Street. One daughter of the family, Margaret or ‘Maggie’ married a man called Thomas Ritchie, who was a keen amateur photographer. In the early years of the twentieth century, Ritchie took many photographs of Roslin and the surrounding area. Some of these were made into postcards and sold in the Roslin post office. On 16 July 1858, George Bryce (born c.1829 in Roslin) married Fanny Crawford Law (born c.1836 in Glencorse). The couple had two daughters: Marion Anderson Bryce (born 13 August 1859 in Roslin) and Margaret or ‘Maggie’ Bryce (born 22 April 1862 in Roslin). The census of 1881 shows the Bryce family living in the Post Office on Roslin High Street. George’s occupation is given as a millwright and Margaret, his daughter, a letter carrier. Hector Law, George’s father-in-law, is also living at the same address. Ten years later, the family are still in the post office. George is described as a gunpowder packer, Marion a milliner and Maggie a telegraphist. By 1901, George has become a postmaster and newsagent. Margaret Bryce married Thomas or ‘Tom’ Ritchie on 30 April 1897 in Roslin. Thomas Ritchie, who was also known as ‘Frosset’, was born around 1864 in Glasgow.

  • Hydropower Generating Scheme Hydro Project Will Provide Scottish Water with Self-Generated Power for Their Assets by William Ancell BA (Hons)
    Renewable Energy www.WaterProjectsOnline.com Hydropower Generating Scheme hydro project will provide Scottish Water with self-generated power for their assets by William Ancell BA (Hons) he topography of Scotland means a large amount of Scottish Water’s energy use is in pumping water around the country. Additionally, a lot of energy is required to treat water to meet regulatory standards, despite the Tgenerally high raw water quality in Scotland. In order to reduce power costs for water supply and treatment by 10%, and in doing so help keep down Scottish Water’s operating expenditure, the company is progressing with a £20 million+ hydropower generating scheme that will use the existing water supply pipes to generate electricity for the utility’s own assets. Wide shot of the turbine at Turret WTW in Crieff, Scotland - Courtesy of Scottish Water, Gilkes and Black & Veatch Project background This is nothing new; Scottish Water’s asset base is already generating The project involves installation of hydro turbines at raw water 5% of the company’s power requirements across Scotland and and treated potable water locations.
