  • Planning Committee
    Planning Committee 2.00pm, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 Trinity Conservation Area Character Appraisal Review Executive/routine 12 - Leith Wards Walk Council Commitments 15 1. Recommendations 1.1 It is recommended that: 1.1.1 the Committee approves the revised Trinity Conservation Area Character Appraisal (CACA). Paul Lawrence Executive Director of Place Contact: John Inman, Service Manager, Place Development E-mail: [email protected] | Tel: 0131 469 3721 Report Trinity Conservation Area Character Appraisal Review 2. Executive Summary 2.1 On 22 August 2018, the Committee approved an updated programme of review of the existing conservation area character appraisals. This report presents the revised Trinity CACA. The revised appraisal has been the subject of community consultation. 3. Background 3.1 It is a statutory requirement in terms of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 for local authorities to periodically review conservation area boundaries and consider whether new conservation area designations are appropriate. 3.2 On 22 August 2018, the Committee approved an updated programme of review of the existing conservation area character appraisals. This was based on the age of the character appraisal, with the earliest being given priority, and development pressure, based on the number of applications submitted for planning permission and the extent of recent housing development. 3.3 The resulting priority conservation areas were: South Side, Marchmont and Meadows, Colinton, Merchiston and Greenhill, West End, Coltbridge and Wester Coates, Craigmillar Park and Morningside. Trinity Conservation Area was added to the priority list due to local community requests for a review of the boundary of the area.

    II.—An Account of St Columbd's Abbey, Inchcolm. Accompanied with Plans, ^c.1 (Plates IV.-VL) By THOMAS ARNOLD, Esq., Architect, M.R.LB.A, Lond. [Communicated January 11, 1869, with an Introductory Note.] NEAR the northern shores of the Firth of Forth, and within sight of Edin- burgh, lies the island anciently known as Emona, and in later times as Inchcolm, the island of St Columba. It is of very small extent, scarcely over half a mile in length, and 400 feet in width at its broadest part. The tide of commerce and busy life which ebbs and flows around has left the little inch in a solitude as profound as if it gemmed the bosom of some Highland loch, a solitude which impresses itself deeply on the stranger who comes to gaze on its ruined, deserted, and forgotten Abbey. Few even of those who visit the island from the beautiful village of Aberdour, close to it, know anything of its history, and as few out of sight of the island know of its existence at all. But although now little known beyond the shores of the Forth, Inchcolm formerly held a high place in the veneration of the Scottish people as the cradle of the religious life of the surrounding districts, and was second only to lona as a holy isle in whose sacred soil it was the desire of many generations to be buried. It numbered amongst its abbots men of high position and learning. Noble benefactors enriched it with broad lands and rich gifts, and its history and remains, like the strata of some old mountain, bear the marks of every great wave of life which has passed over our country.

  • Diving on the Isle of May 2
    Isle of May National Nature Reserve Diving on the Isle of May 2 Aerial view of Isle of May NNR 3 The Isle of May On a clear day, the Isle of May seems to float in the sea like a giant basking whale. This rocky island, with sheer cliffs, caves and gentle slopes, is home to thousands of grey seals and seabirds. It lies at the junction of the sheltered Firth of Forth and the expanses of the North Sea. The rocky reefs in these cold, tide-swept waters support kelp forests and rich marine life, providing foraging grounds for the seals which breed on the island. The ‘May Isle’, as it is known locally, lies 7 kilometres (km) from Crail on the Fife coast. Although the island is only 57 hectares it is nationally and internationally important for its seabird and seal colonies. A National Nature Reserve (NNR) since 1956, the island was purchased from the Northern Lighthouse Board in 1989 and since then it has been owned and managed by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The island is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a Special Protection Area (SPA) for its breeding seabirds and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) for its seals and rocky reefs. Ever since Fife was inhabited over 8000 years ago, the island must have attracted attention with its wild and rugged appearance. Excavations have uncovered artefacts including flint, arrowheads and a piece of polished stone axe. The oldest dateable find is a piece of Bronze Age pot made around 2000 years BC.
