  • 4. the Water of Leith As Stated in the Introduction, This Will Be a Briefer
    4. The Water of Leith As stated in the Introduction, this will be a briefer account than those for the other rivers, following the same template in the upper reaches, but focussing on tributaries past and present once within the city boundary of Edinburgh, until the last stretch through Leith. The sources of the Water of Leith are springs at near 400m height on the northern slopes of West Cairn Hill and Colzium Hill, in the Pentland Range. These feed three streams, rather unimaginatively named, ‘West Burn’, ‘Mid Burn’, and ‘East Burn’, which join together near the hamlet of Colzium, to form the Water of Leith, at Grid Reference NT 086 589. From here, the small river winds north-east for c2.5km until it enters Harperrig Reservoir. This large artificial body of water has a surface area of 94 hectares, and is shaped something like an open-mouthed flounder, with its tail to the south-west, where the Water of Leith enters, and with its jaws to the east. The reservoir was opened in 1860, and its function was to store water which could be used, especially during dry spells, to compensate for water abstracted from the springs referred to above, their effusions having been piped into the Edinburgh water supply. Reservoir water was released as needed to maintain the river flow which drove many mills in the 19th century. Somewhat perversely, its function has turned full-circle, as with the mills defunct, it now holds back water which would otherwise increase the risk of flooding in Edinburgh after heavy rain.

The maps of the AQMAs are available online at http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/airquality An AQMA is required when a pollutant fails to meet air quality standards which are set by the Scottish Government. Road traffic is by far the greatest contributor to the high concentrations of NO2 in the city. Earlier assessment work has shown that the NO2 contribution from each vehicle class is different within the AQMAs. For example, cars were shown to contribute the most at Glasgow Road AQMA, with buses having the largest impact along some routes in the Central AQMA (London Road, Gorgie Road/Chesser, Princes Street) and HGVs having a significant impact at Bernard Street. Therefore, in order to improve air quality, it will be necessary to keep all motor vehicle classes under review.

The recently restored house and period gardens are exemplary and make an important contribution to the character and quality of the landscape of the Braid Hills. LOCATION, SETTING AND EXTENT Liberton House and its associated landscape are located in part of the Edinburgh City Green Belt, bounded to the north by Liberton Drive, to the east by the Alnwickhill Road, to the south by an unmetalled and unclassified road at Stanedykehead, and to the west by open farmland on the eastern slopes of the Braid Hills. The only vehicular access to the house and associated walled garden is from the north, via a gate and walled drive from Liberton Drive. The house is clearly seen from local roads and from the adjoining Braid Hills, and has extensive outward views to the west and south-west over open fields to the Braids and to the more distant Pentland Hills.

  • Edinburgh & West Lothian
    Edinburgh & West Lothian: A landscape fashioned by geology The tranquil appearance of the city of Edinburgh nestling between the surrounding hills and the undulating countryside of West Lothian belies their dramatic volcanic past. The Lothian landscape took over 400 million years to reach its present shape. This book tells the story of its journey from erupting volcanoes, through rivers, seas and ice-caps, to the peaceful parks, restored quarries and level playing fields we see today. West Lothian EDINBURGHA LANDSCAPE FASHIONED & BY GEOLOGY There is probably no place in the world which better exemplifies "A Landscape Fashioned by GEOLOGY Lothian: & West A LANDSCAPEEDINBURGH BY FASHIONED Geology" than the area around Edinburgh. Here you can follow in the footsteps of James Hutton, the Father of Modern Geology, see what he saw, and better understand the processes that formed Edinburgh’s dramatic landscape. This booklet is beautifully accessible, taking you on a journey from today’s familiar hills and valleys to the icy wastes of two million years ago and further back, to the volcanoes and coal swamps of 350 million years ago when Edinburgh lay at the equator. What more exciting story could there be than the story in the rocks and landscapes of Edinburgh. Dr Stuart Monro, Scientific Director, Our Dynamic Earth About the Author David McAdam has spent a lifetime mapping and describing the geology of east central Scotland. He has contributed to three other titles in the `Landscape Fashioned by Geology ' series. Although recently retired, he remains a Visiting Scientist with the British Geological Survey to continue his interest in promoting Scotland's geological heritage.
