Covering Ratho, Ratho Station, Gogar & Dalmahoy] Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour Ratho District Great War Roll of Honour: Restricted [Covering Ratho, Ratho Station, Gogar & Dalmahoy] 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. Spouse’s name and address. Details of education. Pre-war employment. Date and place enlisted. Military service including rank, service numbers, units served in, dates of entry into theatre of war. Dates and details of wounds received. How and when the person died, age, place commemorated or buried. Military medals and special awards. The names of any rolls of honour, books, newspaper articles/casualty lists the person is mentioned in and whether a photo has been found. The name of the district of Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour the person’s name is recorded on. If you can help recreate the story, fill in gaps, or help solve an unidentified casualty, then please contact me at the following e-mail address: [email protected] Please note that evidence may be required before details are added to any person named in the RoH. The districts for each portion of the RoH are based on the following map: Ordnance Survey Maps One-inch, 2nd Edition, Scotland, 1898-1904, Sheet 32. Evidence associating casualties with particular districts has come from: surviving service records located either at the National Archives, London or on www.Ancestry.co.uk or www.Findmypast.co.uk; online National Archive resources located in other countries; the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s website; the Scottish National War Memorial website; the Soldiers Died in the Great War CD- Rom [N&MP]; birth, marriage, death certificates and census returns located in Register House in Edinburgh; civic, church and school memorials; various rolls of honour; casualty lists, biographical notes and death notices published in newspapers and gravestones located within cemeteries in the appropriate district.

  • Kirkliston to Cramond
    Kirkliston to Cramond Last leg of a 4-part route down the full length of the valley of the River Almond. Starts Kirkliston. Quarter hourly bus (38) from Edinburgh. Also buses 63 and 600. Varied walk: banks of R. Almond, beside the airport runway; woods, estate; coast. Distance: 14 km Walk begins at bus stop on Kirkliston High St. adjacent to The Square beside the old Parish Church. Find a narrow snicket, behind black safety railings, next to a whitewashed cottage (2 doors right of the cottage with the ‘Amulree’ wall plaque). Follow the snicket as it doglegs left and the right towards the river. You emerge from Cobblers Close onto Wellflats Rd. Bear right. After a few paces go straight over the old railway path. After a few more paces, at the Y-junction, take the right-hand road straight ahead with a neat, brown fence on the right. The road looks to be ending but keep straight ahead along a really narrow pathway between houses, with a high fence on the right. This alleyway leads to the river bank. Carry on along a most pleasant stretch of river bank until you come to a bridge. Cross over. Turn sharp left to follow reasonably close to the riverside. Keep to the thin footpath on the low levee, rather than the field edge. Soon you come to the strange set of buildings of Hallyards. Walk straight ahead, keeping to the left of buildings. There are all sorts of strange containers, old vehicles and trucks. Keep going until your way appears to be blocked, or partially blocked.

  • North West Locality Open Space Action Plan
    North West Locality Open Space Action Plan March 2017 North West Edinburgh Open Space Action Plan (March 2017) Introduction This is one of four Open Space Action Plans to support delivery of Open Space 2021, Edinburgh’s Open Space Strategy. Open Space is a key element of Edinburgh’s physical, social and environmental fabric and Open Space 2021 sets guiding standards for existing and new open space provision as the city grows. Through standards based on open space quality, size and distance from homes, the Strategy aims to increase the number of people that can benefit from greenspaces that are sustainably managed, biologically diverse and contribute to health and wellbeing. The Open Space Profile shows how the Locality compares to the overall picture of open space across the city, highlighting changes to provision. It is a working plan, to be reviewed periodically to capture collective efforts which lead to the improvement and extension of Edinburgh’s green network. Actions, including estimated costs, may be subject to review, further feasibility studies and change. The Action Plan sets out proposals to help reduce inequalities in access to good quality open space and play provision. In time, it will reflect local environment priorities emerging through co-production of Locality Improvement Plans by Community Planning partners. The first version shows citywide priorities identified by Edinburgh’s annual parks quality assessment and actions carried forward from the existing Play Area Action Plan (2011-16) and previous Open Space Strategy (2010). The Action Plan will co-ordinate ongoing open space management actions with those relating to development, including changes arising from individual planning decisions and the delivery of new parks and play areas through the adopted Edinburgh Local Development Plan (LDP).
