GRANT, W.S., ROTHESAY HERALD AND LYON CLERK.- EDINBURGH : t) hos PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY 1908. EDINBURGH: PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER ANU COMPANY. 54- PREFACE. The village of Restalrig is situated in the parish of South Leith and on the eastern outskirts of the city of Edinburgh. It is a place of great antiquity, and in pre-Reformation times its collegiate church was the parish church of Leith. At the Reformation the church, which was dedicated to St. Triduana, was ordered by the General Assembly to be -razed and utterly cast down as a monument of idolatry, and the parishioners ordained to repair to St. Mary's Church at Leith, a sentence which was only too faithfully carried out. The edifice remained a ruin till the year 1836, when the present chapel of ease was constructed out of its remains. Though ceasing to be a place of worship after 1560, the churchyard continued to be a place of sepulchre, and after the disestablish- ment of Episcopacy in 1689 was used by the members of that body as a place of burial when denied the right to conduct service in other places. In 1726, with the sanction of John, Lord Balmerino, and James, Lord Coupar, his son, the proprietors of the Barony, the Friendly Society of Restalrig was constituted, and to its care the ruined church and church- yard were made over. The first members of this Society were Messrs.

Introduction Licensing Boards have the power to identify areas of overprovision where it is deemed that the granting of further licensing would undermine the 5 five objectives enshrined in the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. These are: Preventing Crime and Disorder Securing Public Safety Preventing Public Nuisance Protecting and Improving Public Health Protecting Children from Harm In Edinburgh the Licensing Board has identified the Grassmarket, Cowgate and streets leading to it as a long established area of overprovision. In November 2011 Jim Sherval, Public Health Specialist in NHS Lothiani, completed an assessment of overprovision provision on behalf of the Board.
  • Proposed Cycle and Pedestrian Improvements, Between Inverleith Place and the Goldenacre Path

    Proposed Cycle and Pedestrian Improvements, Between Inverleith Place and the Goldenacre Path

    Proposed cycle and pedestrian improvements, between Inverleith Place and The Goldenacre Path Issue: QuietRoute 20 is an important part of Edinburgh’s network of routes for walking and cycling. The levels of traffic on parts of QuietRoute 20 are too high to meet the standards of the QuietRoute network. Purpose and context: The scheme will make it easier, safer and quicker for people walking and cycling along Inverleith Place, Inverleith Row and Warriston Gardens, travelling between Warriston Gardens and The Goldenacre Path, and as part of wider journeys in the north of the city. This will help people travelling on foot and by bicycle to reach local and key destinations, including schools, workplaces, shops and parks. The Council is developing a network of cycle routes across the city, called the ‘QuietRoutes’ network. We know that heavy or fast traffic is the most significant barrier preventing people who want to cycle from doing so. To address this the QuietRoutes are designed so that people can cycle without having to travel in heavy or fast traffic. QuietRoute 20 links Inverleith, the Royal Botanic Garden, Canonmills, Leith Walk, Easter Road, Lochend Park and Restalrig on quiet roads and traffic free paths. Proposed scheme: The Council is proposing: • A segregated cycleway along Inverleith Place; • Improvements to crossing facilities at the junction of Inverleith Place, Arboretum Road and Arboretum Place; • A new signalised crossing on Inverleith Row, to the south of its junction with Inverleith Place; • A segregated cycleway on the east side of Inverleith Row between Inverleith Place and Warriston Gardens; • A new ramp to connect Warriston Gardens and The Goldenacre Path.
