Sources 24 1 1. Summary information Location and boundaries The Inverleith Conservation Area is located to the north of the New Town Conservation Area, 1.5 kilometres north of the city centre and covers an area of 232 hectares. The conservation area is bounded by Ferry Road to the north, the western boundary of Fettes College, the eastern boundary of Warriston Cemetery and Comely Bank/Water of Leith/Glenogle Road to the south. The boundary includes Fettes College, Inverleith Park, the Royal Botanic Garden, Warriston Cemetery and Tanfield. The area falls within Inverleith, Forth and Leith Walk wards and is covered by the Stockbridge/Inverleith, Trinity and New Town/Broughton Community Councils. The population of Inverleith Conservation Area in 2011 was 4887. Dates of designation/amendments The conservation area was originally designated in October 1977. The boundary was amended in 1996 and again in 2006 to exclude areas which no longer contributed to the character of the conservation area. A conservation area character appraisal was published in 2006, and a management plan in 2010. The Stockbridge Colonies were removed from the Inverleith Conservation Area boundary in 2013 to form a separate conservation area.

  • The East Neuk Sundial Trail to St. Andrews by Dennis Cowan
    The East Neuk Sundial Trail to St. Andrews by Dennis Cowan This sundial trail starts from the Forth Road Bridge (the main A90 road from Edinburgh) which spans the River Forth between South Queensferry and North Queensferry and is only a few miles from Scotland’s capital city. It ends in St. Andrews, the home of golf where another sundial trail is available (the St. Andrews Sundial Trail). St. Andrews now of course is almost as famous in some quarters for being the place where Prince William and Kate Middleton first met at the University in the town. Another sundial trail is available for the return journey which takes a different route back to your starting point at the Forth Road Bridge (the North Fife Sundial Trail). The East Neuk Sundial Trail takes the scenic (and longer and much slower) coastal route to the East Neuk of Fife (neuk is an old Scots word for corner) via Inverkeithing, Aberdour, Burntisland, and the fishing villages of Elie and Crail and then on to St. Andrews. A car will be needed and a full day is required. The journey to St. Andrews is approximately 53 miles and around 2½ hours driving time from the Forth Road Bridge plus stopping and viewing times. There are eight sundials at six locations on this route plus four options to see another five sundials. These options are identified in the text. If you are doing all three trails mentioned above and using this trail as the return leg from St. Andrews, you will obviously have to reverse the directions.

  • Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India Is an Important
    Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. Since theeconomic liberalisation of the 1990s, development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. However, the relatively low GDP of India has meant that access to these modes of transport has not been uniform. Motor vehicle penetration is low with only 13 million cars on thenation's roads.[1] In addition, only around 10% of Indian households own a motorcycle.[2] At the same time, the Automobile industry in India is rapidly growing with an annual production of over 2.6 million vehicles[3] and vehicle volume is expected to rise greatly in the future.[4] In the interim however, public transport still remains the primary mode of transport for most of the population, and India's public transport systems are among the most heavily utilised in the world.[5] India's rail network is the longest and fourth most heavily used system in the world transporting over 6 billionpassengers and over 350 million tons of freight annually.[5][6] Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are still riddled with problems due to outdated infrastructure, lack of investment, corruption and a burgeoning population. The demand for transport infrastructure and services has been rising by around 10% a year[5] with the current infrastructure being unable to meet these growing demands. According to recent estimates by Goldman Sachs, India will need to spend $1.7 Trillion USD on infrastructure projects over the next decade to boost economic growth of which $500 Billion USD is budgeted to be spent during the eleventh Five-year plan.

Edinburgh’s connectivity 15. Making it happen Appendix 1 – Our indicators Appendix 2 – Plan and programme Appendix 3 – Policy documents Appendix 4 - References 1 Foreword "A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transport." Enrique Peñalosa, one time mayor of Bogota. The last ten years have seen achievements that Edinburgh can be proud of. We are the only city in Scotland that saw seen walking, cycling and public transport all strengthen their role between the 2001 and 2011 censuses. Edinburgh now boasts the highest share of travel to work in Scotland by each of foot, cycle and bus and the highest share in the UK for bus. We have also bucked Scottish and UK trends in car ownership; despite increasing affluence, a lower percentage of Edinburgh households owned a car in 2011 than 2001. The next five years promise to be an exciting time. We have delivered the first phase of the new Tram line, and can finally enjoy all its benefits. Transport for Edinburgh will be working to deliver increased integration and co-ordination of the wider public transport network. Edinburgh is joining the growing list of progressive UK cities putting people first through applying 20mph speed limits.
