  • CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE ASSESSMENT Introduction the Princes Street Heritage Framework Study Area Comprises a Lo
    PRINCES STREET – CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE ASSESSMENT Introduction The Princes Street Heritage Framework study area comprises a long, section of the city centre extending along the full length of Princes Street, over a single city block and bounded by Rose Street to the north. The site lies within the New Town Conservation Area and the Edinburgh World Heritage Site. The site contains a substantial number of buildings included on the Statutory List of Buildings of Historic or Architectural Interest (14 Category A, 79 Category B, and 11 Category C). The purpose of the Heritage Framework was to better understand the features, details and planned form which give the area its historic character and identity, and to provide a context for its preservation, development and management. The study established the development sequence and form of the surviving James Craig plan, the individual historic structures and the townscape. A more detailed understanding and assessment of the character, quality and comparative cultural significance of individual buildings is now required as a prerequisite to making decisions about the future of the area. Cultural significance refers to the collection of values associated with a place which together identify why it is important. The Burra Charter suggests that ‘Cultural significance is embodied in the place itself, its fabric, setting, use, associations, meanings, records, related places and related objects’. Where decisions are being made about the future of historic buildings, their historic and architectural significance should be adequately assessed. This should form part of the master planning and design process, and the assessment undertaken at the earliest opportunity and before detailed proposals are drawn up for the regeneration.

  • John Muir Way: Unofficial City Centre Shortcut
    John Muir Way: unofficial city centre shortcut (4 pages) Please see http://www.rucsacs.com/books/jmw/ for the guidebook to which this PDF is a supplement. It offers an alternative to the route description on pages 61-62. Please visit our online route map at http://www.rucsacs.com/routemap/jmw/ to see all route lines, official and unofficial, for walkers and cyclists: zoom in repeatedly for utmost detail. In the map clip below, the purple line is the official route and the turquoise line shows our alternative (which is shorter by 2 miles/3 km). This alternative may be more suited to walkers than to cyclists: see page 4. Start from our guidebook page 60 – and instead of skirting the edge of Carrick Knowe, follow Saughton Crescent. The total length is 5.5 miles/9 km (excluding Arthur's Seat). • Turn left (east) along Saughton Crescent which within 500 m becomes Riversdale Road. Keep straight ahead until you meet Riversdale Crescent at a T-junction: turn left. • After about 200 m, cross the Water of Leith by footbridge and turn left to follow the Water of Leith Walkway downstream for nearly 3 km to Dean Village. You start by skirting Murrayfield Stadium, then follow signage carefully across Roseburn Terrace to resume the riverside walk. • The walkway crosses the river a couple of times but is well signed throughout. Sometimes sections are closed because of subsidence, but diversions are clearly signed, in places with local maps. • Approaching Dean Village, descend steps past a weir to reach a metal footbridge.
