Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford]
Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour Colinton District Great War Roll of Honour: Restricted [Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford] 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. -

Juniper Green and Baberton Mains Community Council
Impact of Bank Closures Economy Jobs and Fair Work Committee - Tuesday 29 May Professor Cliff Beevers Juniper Green and Baberton Mains Community Council 1. Impact 1.1 Has there been an impact of bank closures on the wider local economy and community? Yes, an established business for many years in Juniper Green is the fishmonger. He tells me that his takings are down 15 -20% since the bank closed. He added that his colleague, another fishmonger, near Golden Acre, where two banks closed, has takings down 20%- 25%. The population of the villages of the upper Water of Leith, some 20,000 citizens, represent the size of a small town. When RBS left Juniper Green last year it was effectively the last bank in town. In a UK Government briefing paper [1] the research mapped bank branch closures against the British Bankers Association postcode lending data, They showed that “bank branch closures dampen SME lending growth by 63% on average in postcodes that lose a bank branch. This figures grows to 104% for postcodes that lose their last-bank-in- town. On average, postcodes that lose their last-bank-in-town receive almost £1.6million less lending over the course of a year - a significant and damaging drop in funding.” But, lending is not the only story; shopping footfall decreases and small traders also suffer lost revenue. An important point here is that these small traders like the fishmonger, butcher and greengrocers have a short supply chain so when the snow came suddenly on two recent occasions it was these small traders that were providing food for their respective communities when the so-called “big beasts” of retail had lorries stuck on the various motorways. -

Walks Around the Parish of Colinton
Turn left into Pentland Road and admire ‘Stonehouse’ on the corner. It was the last house that Lorimer designed in Colinton. Then turn COLINTON right into Pentland Avenue, where several Lorimer-designed houses were built. ‘Colinton Cottage’ (No 23) was the first Lorimer house to be built in Colinton and was the Miss Guthrie Wright Memorial LOCAL HISTORY Home for Queen’s Nurses. Miss Wright was Lorimer’s aunt. Other examples of his work are ‘The Rowans’ (No 21), ‘Westfield’ (No 40) SOCIETY and ‘Binley’ (No 42). Turn around and walk back along Pentland Avenue as far as No 11. Just past this house, turn right down the path known as ‘The Shoot’ with its high stone walls bordering the gardens on each side. It brings you out at the bridge over the Water of Leith. Below the Bridge was the site of Colinton Station and the old railway line built in 1874. Trains carried passengers until 1943 and freight until 1967. In 1973 it became a walkway. Walks around the parish of Colinton Do not cross the bridge, but take the road on the left at the foot of The Shoot, then turn immediately right down a short flight of steps to a car park. Around this area, various millwheels have been scattered to remind people of bygone days. Turn right and walk Walk 1: under the road bridge on to the Water of Leith Walkway, on the route of the old railway. The Long Steps – Parish Church – Spylaw Bank Road – The Shoot - Old Colinton Station – Spylaw Park – After about 100 yards, a gap in the wall will take you into Spylaw Park. -

Kinleith Mill, Currie Design-Led Urban Regeneration
KINLEITH MILL, CURRIE DESIGN-LED URBAN REGENERATION KINLEITH MILL, CURRIE - DESIGN-LED URBAN REGENERATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Built by CALA Homes, Kinleith Mill is the characterful regeneration of the former Kinleith Paper Mill site in Currie, an affluent and highly sought-after suburb of Edinburgh. Following the paper mill’s closure in 1966, the site played host to various industrial operations until its demolition in 1996. Vacant and littered with debris, the brownfield land occupied an 11 acre stretch next to the Water of Leith – a popular walking and cycle route – spoiling what was otherwise a tranquil waterside beauty spot. CALA Homes (East) purchased the site after previous attempts to build on it were thwarted by contamination, constrained access and complex engineering challenges. Today, this stretch of the river is home to a flourishing new community. Kinleith Mill comprises 89 contemporary homes, 22 of which are affordable, complemented by green open space and tree-lined walkways. It is an idyllic retreat, situated just off Lanark Road West, allowing excellent access to road and public transport links into Edinburgh and beyond. Paying homage to the architecture of the historic paper mill, the new homes at Kinleith Mill feature traditional red brick facades, punctuated by distinctive iron railings. Their impressive finish belies the host of challenges that came with transforming this brownfield site, and underlines the power of positive change achieved by well-considered design. PAGE 3 KINLEITH MILL, CURRIE - DESIGN-LED URBAN REGENERATION FROM DESERTED INDUSTRIAL GROUND... The first records of the Kinleith Paper Mill site date back to the 1700s. Development began at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution with the construction of a paper mill, which was powered by a waterwheel in the Water of Leith. -
