    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.

  • Walks Around the Parish of Colinton

    Walks Around the Parish of Colinton

    Turn left into Pentland Road and admire ‘Stonehouse’ on the corner. It was the last house that Lorimer designed in Colinton. Then turn COLINTON right into Pentland Avenue, where several Lorimer-designed houses were built. ‘Colinton Cottage’ (No 23) was the first Lorimer house to be built in Colinton and was the Miss Guthrie Wright Memorial LOCAL HISTORY Home for Queen’s Nurses. Miss Wright was Lorimer’s aunt. Other examples of his work are ‘The Rowans’ (No 21), ‘Westfield’ (No 40) SOCIETY and ‘Binley’ (No 42). Turn around and walk back along Pentland Avenue as far as No 11. Just past this house, turn right down the path known as ‘The Shoot’ with its high stone walls bordering the gardens on each side. It brings you out at the bridge over the Water of Leith. Below the Bridge was the site of Colinton Station and the old railway line built in 1874. Trains carried passengers until 1943 and freight until 1967. In 1973 it became a walkway. Walks around the parish of Colinton Do not cross the bridge, but take the road on the left at the foot of The Shoot, then turn immediately right down a short flight of steps to a car park. Around this area, various millwheels have been scattered to remind people of bygone days. Turn right and walk Walk 1: under the road bridge on to the Water of Leith Walkway, on the route of the old railway. The Long Steps – Parish Church – Spylaw Bank Road – The Shoot - Old Colinton Station – Spylaw Park – After about 100 yards, a gap in the wall will take you into Spylaw Park.

    EDINBURGH ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD SOCIETY Scottish Charity No. SC006520 News Issue 215 – Winter 2021 Society News Notes from the Chair. The Committee would like to wish a very good New Year to you all. While the start to 2021 has not bought the release from Lockdown that had been hoped for, at least the potential for that release comes a little closer. It is very bad timing for the planned 50th Anniversary celebrations. So far, the Civic Reception has been cancelled and the start of the Anniversary Exhibition in The Edinburgh Museum has receded to June (at current probabilities). Work continues on the content of the Exhibition in the hope and expectation that it will at least get an opening at some point. A 50th Anniversary Edition of the Newsletter will support and enhance the Exhibition. So, we can still take offers of articles about the EAFS in those 50years and any photographs etc that you can offer. It is hoped to start our lectures sometime during the year. The possibility of a ‘blended’ option - an “in person” talk with a dedicated YouTube channel for members who cannot attend – is being explored. The 2020 AGM The first ever EAFS AGM on-line went well. There was a good turnout and all the required work was completed timeously. Major points not covered in the Annual Report was the acceptance of DR’s offer to join the Committee to take the place made vacant by MC’s resignation. Thanks were given to Edinburgh Airport for their useful donation that M was instrumental in arranging.

  • Hidden Treasures of the Water of Leith

    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.

The list includes major projects such as the new footpath at Silverknowes Road East, local traffic and parking problems such as at Vivian Terrace/Corbiehill Crescent and more minor problems such as damaged or missing bollards. It has been drawn up from the records of all the contacts, queries and complaints that have been received from local residents and the idea is that for the first time will provide an ongoing formal record of local issues and what is being done to consider each problem. In the past it has been all too easy for complaints to have been made through us or directly to the West Team and then for some to have been forgotten and drop of the edge as more pressing problems arise.
