ROUTE SELECTION

Preferred Route Corridor Selection (Extract from Edinburgh Tram Line Two: STAG Report) The preferred route corridor arising from this work and which was taken forward to public consultation is the central corridor, which broadly follows the alignment of CERT. A drawing folio showing the route options which were taken to public consultation, can be found in Appendix E of the Edinburgh Tram Line 2 STAG (FaberMaunsell, November 2003). Further details of the option appraisal can be found in the Preferred Route Corridor Report and Addendum. A summary of the process is provided in Table 1 below.

The Preferred Route Corridor can be described as follows:

St Andrew Square To Roseburn Tram Line Two services will run from St Andrew Square, along Princess Street, Shandwick Place to Haymarket and then onwards towards Roseburn.

Roseburn To Carrick Knowe The preferred route corridor included three sub-options along the length from Roseburn to Carrick Knowe: Option A – a route along the south of the railway embankment; Option B – a route along the north of the railway embankment; and Option C – a hybrid of Options A and B. This option is initially south of the railway between Russell Road and Balgreen Road and then crosses back to the north to utilise the reserve created for the CERT project.

Webs / Edinburgh Park From Carrick Knowe the preferred corridor assessment identified that the best route would be for the tram to supersede the WEBS guideway, which is to be formed in the grass reserve between the railway line and Stenhouse, Broomhouse, and Bankhead Drives respectively. Options 6, 9 and 12 form the alignment in this region. This decision was not challenged through either public or stakeholder consultation and was acceptable to the Client Group. Thus it was carried

Gogar Junction Following early consideration of a number of options at Gogar Roundabout, stakeholder and Client Group consultation defined two options for the preferred route:

Option A – directly across the roundabout with signalisation providing priority for the tram (option 26);

Option B – passing through the Gyle car park before crossing under Glasgow Road (the A8) east of Gogar Roundabout.

Gogar Burn The alignment that was subsequently taken forward to public consultation was a hybrid of the previous options. The alignment ran parallel to the A8 as far as Gogar village, headed north then west to join the CERT route

Airport/Ingliston The preferred route corridor identified a solution, which looped north to the Airport serving the Royal Highland Showground via an alignment either to the north or to the south (options 1 and 2).

Newbridge Spur The western ends of two of the earlier options were ruled out due to difficulties crossing the motorway and the development of the airport spur alignment. The preferred option within Newbridge presented for public consultation consists of a loop around the village. Starting from Ingliston Park and Ride, the route would cross Eastfield Road at-grade before reaching a stop at the Royal Highland Showground. The route would then pass the Showground along its southern boundary, beyond which a route via Ratho Station would be taken to reach Newbridge.

Table 1 – Options Progressed from Appraisal Option Extremities (East to West) Progressed Summary Number to AST2 1 (Part) From Newbridge Roundabout to Serves the Showground and Airport terminal provides a direct route. No access to Newbridge. 1b From Highland Showground to Avoids conflict with airport Option3 expansion. 2 (Part) From Newbridge roundabout to Airport May lose demand from the terminal Showground and does not serve Ratho development. 3 (Part) From Gogar roundabout to Airport Serves Airport well and potentially terminal RBoS. 4 (Part) From Gogar roundabout to Airport Serves Airport well and potentially terminal RboS. 5 From Airport terminal to Gogar X Serves Airport well and potentially roundabout RBoS. 6 From Gogar roundabout to South Gyle Serves Edinburgh Park well, plus access / Bankhead drive junction existing demand, potential for interchange. 7 From Gogar roundabout to South Gyle X Serves Edinburgh Park less well access / Bankhead drive junction than 6, but existing demand better.

On street Terrace junction to Balgreen Road / section likely to result in increased Saughton Drive junction journey times hence this element has been dropped. 16b On Baird Drive X As 16, but may increase journey times further. Additional residential property inpact. 17 From Stenhouse Drive / Stenhouse X No major impact. Drive junction to Stenhouse Drive pedestrian bridge 18 From Riverside Crescent / X Convoluted and slow path picking Corstorphine Road junction to up little extra patronage. Balgreen Road / Saughton Drive junction 19 From Roseburn Terrace / Roseburn X A congested road section likely to Street junction to Riversdale Crescent incur delays regularly without / Corstorphine Road junction adding to patronage significantly. 20 From Princess Street / Lothian Road X Serves major areas of demand but junction to Stenhouse Drive / likely to be slow speeds for much Stevenson Drive junction of its length. 21 From Haymarket Station to Roseburn X Potential for high patronage and Terrace / Roseburn Street junction links with Haymarket but slow journey times. 22 From Edinburgh Park to North side of X Missed opportunity to link with A8 to Airport Railway but segregated route might improve journey times. 23 (Part) From South Gyle access / South Gyle Does not serve Edinburgh Park Crescent roundabout to Gogar well. Hence revised to go through roundabout Gyle Centre. 24 From Roseburn Street to Russell No major impact. Road and connecting to Edinburgh Tram Line One 25 On Roseburn Street / Roseburn X Delays at junction may increase Terrace junction journey times. 26 Gogar Roundabout At grade crossing may result in delays. 27 From Edinburgh Tram Line One to Restricted access between lines 1 Roseburn Street and 2. Network Rail impact. 28 Stevenson Road to CERT alignment. X Quicker than 16 but does not serve Murrayfield as well. 29 From Haymarket to West approach X Serves major areas of demand but road likely to be slow speeds for much of its length. 30 From Balgreen Road to Stenhouse Segregated running allowing for a Drive fast section of the journey but does not directly serve major patronage generators. 31 Western Extension Highland Provides access across the Showground to Newbridge Motorway to Newbridge.

Current 1:25,000 current Ordnance Survey maps were used to assess present status of the area.

The historical development of the route study area is discussed in two sections; areas outside the current alignment of the Edinburgh City Bypass and areas within the bypass.

Haymarket – Dalry – Gorgie – Saughton – Broomhouse – Corstorphine – Gyle – Gogar (inside bypass)

1853/55 In 1853/55 this section of the study area was primarily farmland. The only settlements of note were Corstorphine and Coltbridge to the north of the area. Corstorphine appeared to be an established village with a school and church. The ruins of Corstorphine Castle were located to the south of the village, otherwise the village was surrounded by farmland, with individual farmhouses and estate houses such as South Gyle, Old Saughton House, Saughton Mains, Gorgie and Dalry. There 2 was a cemetery to the west of the estates of Dalry. Coltbridge was also a well- established village situated at a bridge over the Water of Leith, with a school and post office. To the west of Coltbridge in an area called Murrayfield, several scattered lodge houses existed, and to the east of Coltbridge on the road into Edinburgh Donaldson’s Hospital was situated adjacent to nurseries and Haymarket Station, which at this stage was on the edge of the city.

Several mills were present along the Water of Leith, the largest being Gorgie Mills, where a glue manufactory and tan pits were also located. Another feature of note was the Tynecastle Police Depot.

1853/1855 to 1908/9 Between 1853/55 and 1909 Edinburgh expanded by at least a mile to the north and west of Haymarket. The village of Coltbridge was swallowed up and was renamed Roseburn and development appeared to be mainly residential. A polo ground was created to the west of Roseburn and the Murrayfield area was also largely developed for residential purposes, thereby almost joining Roseburn and Corstorphine.

The railways also developed significantly in this period. The West Dalry branch, Granton branch and Edinburgh Suburban and Side Junction Line of the railway were constructed, with several sidings and stations to serve the increased industry in the area. For example there was a station adjacent to the Brewery at Gorgie and one near the mills south of Roseburn.

Expansion of industry just outside Edinburgh was evident with more mills built along the Water of Leith, along with several laundries, and a rubber works which was constructed at the mill at Dalry south of Coltbridge. Several breweries and distilleries were also operating in the area.

The estates and farmland at Dalry were swallowed by a mixture of residential and industrial development, along with a football ground at the former police depot at Tynecastle. To the southwest however, other than the industrial developments along the water of Leith, the areas of Gorgie, Saughton, Sighthill and Gyle remained rural.

1908/9 to 1938 Between 1908/9 and 1938, Edinburgh expanded further still, with large residential developments at Saughtonhall, Stenhouse and Sighthill. The developments differed in pattern and density from the older urban areas of Dalry to the east, contrasting in scale and special form. Areas of open space were preserved as public parks and a golf course was created at Carrick Knowe. Corstorphine also grew more in this period.

A football ground and playing field were built on the polo ground at Roseburn, later to become the Murrayfield Rugby Football Ground and the Water of Leith appears to have been straightened and widened slightly in the Roseburn-Murrayfield area, possibly to accommodate the adjacent residential developments. The nursery at Balgreen was also lost to the expanding population with a school and bowling green built on the site.

An ice rink was built adjacent to Haymarket Station on the site of the auction mart.

1938 to present day Between 1938 and the present day Edinburgh expanded further still and significant changes in the transport network occurred, reflecting the demise of the urban railways and an increased dependence on roads. The Edinburgh City Bypass was constructed, with its associated interchanges, including a major roundabout at Gogar to the east of the airport. The Western Approach Road was constructed on sections of the closed Wester Dalry branch of the railway and the Caledonian Railway.

New residential areas emerged in West Craigs, North Gyle, South Gyle, Sighthill, Broomhouse and Saughton and associated with these were schools and parks, including St Augustine’s High School and Sighthill Public Park.

Large areas of agricultural land were also developed in South Gyle and Sighthill, becoming the retail, business and industrial premises of Edinburgh Park, South Gyle and Sighthill Industrial Estate. Another section of the Gogar Burn was culverted and straightened to accommodate the Edinburgh Park development. Generally development was contained by Edinburgh City Bypass – out with the bypass the primary land use remained agricultural.

Within the already established areas of Edinburgh, the residential framework remained unchanged, except for occasional infill developments. In contrast however the industrial areas saw changes in land use. For example around Haymarket, residential properties were built on the mineral depot, a warehouse and other developments were built on the site of the Caledonian Distillery, offices were built on the mill site and the ice rink was demolished and became a car park and offices. Part of the Fountainbridge Brewery site was absorbed by a large leisure development.

Gogar – Edinburgh Airport - Newbridge (outside bypass)

1853/55 In 1853/55 this area appeared to be mainly farmland, with scattered farm buildings and estate houses with grounds such as Ingliston, Gogarburn, Gogarpark, Norton House and Hanley. There were no villages or hamlets other than a small group of houses at Newbridge, otherwise properties were scattered. The Edinburgh to Glasgow road ran east to west through the area, along with the Union Canal and Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway to the south of the road. A station was located at Ratho, but no other development was associated with this.

Notable historical sites marked on the 1853 maps include ‘Site of Skirmish between Oliver Cromwell and General Leslie on 27th August 1650’ near Gogar to the south of the Edinburgh to Glasgow road, standing stones and a tumulus located between Lochend and Newbridge, ruins of Hallyards Castle in woodland north of Lochend, and the Cat Stane south of the River Almond near Lenny Moor Farm.

The Gogar Burn is marked flowing across the area in a north-westerly direction, to join the River Almond near Lenny Moor farm.

The primary land use was farming, with the presence of thrashing machines at many of the farms suggesting that arable farming was widespread. Occasional quarrying was also evident at Hillwood, south of Ratho Station.

1853/55 to 1908/9 Between 1853/55 and 1908/9 the area changed very little; the only major developments being the building of the Corstorphine to Dalmally section and the South Queensferry branch of the railway. Minor changes included the loss of some small areas of woodland, the building of a Post office and other houses around Ratho Station, and the slight expansion of Newbridge and Lochend, with a school and police station also being built at Lochend. Hillwood Quarry appears to have been worked further, and the Old Ingliston pit appeared in the area of land between the Gogar Burn and River Almond.

1908/9 – 1938/present day The main changes in the area occurred in the period between 1909 and the present. Maps from 1938 are available for the area around the airport, showing little change between 1909 and 1938 except for the construction of a factory at West Craigs Avenue to the east of Gogar.

Between 1938 and the present day however, major changes occurred in the area. The construction of Edinburgh airport resulted in the loss of large areas of agricultural land. Lennie Moor and West Briggs farms and Lennie School disappeared, the course of the Gogar Burn was substantially altered and sections of the burn were culverted under the airport, the road between Lennie and Boathouse Brigg was lost and the Old Ingliston pit disappeared.

The creation of Ingliston Showground on the wooded parkland around Ingliston House was also a significant change.

Minor changes included the enlargement of some fields, the loss of the curling pond at Ratho, the building of Gogar Institution/Hospital between Gogarburn and Gogar Park estates, and the creation of a scrap yard at Gogar Bank and a poultry farm at Gogar Station.

No 1938 map was available for the area west of the airport around Ratho, so the following changes have occurred between 1909 and the present day. The most important changes were the construction of the motorways close to Ratho Station. The M8 cut east to west through farmland between Ratho Station and Ratho village, and the M9 was routed north on farmland between Newbridge and Lochend. The course of the River Almond was altered and straightened in the area where it was crossed by the M9.

Newbridge, Lochend and Ratho Station all expanded, with residential and industrial development appearing, probably as a result of the proximity of these settlements to the Lochend junction of the M9 and the airport. The standing stones and tumulus at Newbridge were retained however, with development taking place around them.

A sewage treatment works was built in an area of former woodland near the ruins of Hallyards castle. 5

TABLE 1: LANDSCAPE SENSITIVITY EVALUATION Note that only those sub-areas impacted by the proposals are listed.

CHARACTER AREA A Historic City core

ELEMENTS ANALYSED FACTORS CONSIDERED VALUE/ AT WHAT LEVEL LANDSCAPE LANDSCAPE SUSCEPTABILITY/ SENSITIVITY VULNERABILITY St. Andrew Square (A1) Formal tree-lined square bounded by railings, forming the eastern termination High/ International High High of George Street, the principal axis of the New Town. The central feature is the Melville Monument and is overlooked by the Bank of Scotland Building on the east side (it’s most imposing building.) Falls within the World Heritage Site. Princes Street (A2) Southernmost of the three main East-west axial routes of the New Town, with High/ International High High continuous shopping façade to the north and open views across Princes Street Gardens to the south towards the castle and old town, punctuated by the Scott Monument and the National Gallery. Axis terminated to the east by Calton Hill with its’ follies, (See below) framed by the Balmoral (formerly North British) Hotel. Falls within the World Heritage Site, but in addition, this is an internationally recognised landscape which Edinburgh as a city is identified with. Princes Street Gardens/ Calton Hill Historic Garden and designed landscape respectively. These are important High/ International High High (A2) components of an internationally recognised landscape . Shandwick Place (A3) Formal axial street forming a western extension of the New Town. Three-to-four High/ International High High storey sandstone tenements are interrupted centrally by an oval-shaped, tree- lined crescent (Atholl Crescent), which forms the focal point of the design. Falls within the World Heritage Site. Haymarket (A4) A confused space forming the junction of four main routes and the interchange Medium/ Regional Medium Medium with Haymarket station. It is, nevertheless, regionally valued as part of Edinburgh’s townscape, as it forms a (poor quality) termination to Shandwick Place. Unlike the foregoing areas, however, building lines do not always follow the street pattern, leading to a fragmented appearance with little sense of spatial cohesion. This is reinforced by an (often clashing) mix of architectural styles and the heavy and continuous traffic and its’ staccato movement associated with frequent lane-changing and multiple traffic lights. Balbirnie Place (A5) Modern terraced houses overlooking young woodland planting belt and the Low/Local Low Low poor landscape quality associated with the adjacent major Glasgow-Edinburgh rail corridor.

APPENDIX 1 – SITES WITH STATUTORY PROTECTION AND NON-STATUTORY DESIGNATIONS

No NGR Status Importance Class Description / baseline (NMRS Ref)

S1 NT 165 725 Scheduled National Fort, Aerial photographs show the cropmarks of a fort, palisaded (NT17SE 56 enclosure, enclosure and a field system on the west bank of the Gogar Burn. NT17SE 57) field system The fort lies at the edge of the scarp above the Gogar Burn, and measures c 100m by 40m within two enclosing ditches. The palisaded enclosure measures c 70m across. Linear cropmarks radiating out from that enclosure may be field boundaries. All the features are probably broadly Iron Age in date. There are no surface traces of this site in a level arable field. S2 NT 123 726 Scheduled National Barrow; This prehistoric burial mound was partly excavated in 1830. Three (NT17SW 8) standing standing stones are present around the barrow, although in the stones 1790s 12 appear to have been present (RCAHMS 1929, 95, no 131). These features stand within open grassy ground, partly screened by trees and bushes on all sides but the east, in which direction Newbridge roundabout, the A8 road and various modern commercial buildings and lampposts are visible, as well as Arthur’s Seat in the far distance. From the summit of the burial mound warehouses are visible over the screening to the south, and houses and industrial buildings are partly visible to the north-west. Greendykes shale oil bing is visible prominently above the screening to the west. S3 NT 1266 7263 Scheduled National Standing An unsculptured standing stone beside the A8 at Newbridge is (NT17SW 9) stone possibly related to the barrow and standing stones at Huly Hill (S2). A modern industrial building obscures the view of the proposed tram route from the standing stone.

L1 NT 2324 7317 Listed C(s) Local Residential 1-7 Kew Terrace (including boundary walls). 2-storey, 3-bay (NT27SW terraced houses with crow-stepped dormers, built c 1863. Low 3581-7, 3401) coped boundary walls to the street, and high coped boundary walls to courts at the rear. These properties face north, and are not intervisible with the proposed tram route (see also Figure 8.4). L2 NT 2332 7315 Listed C(s) Local Religion Hampton Terrace, former Roseburn Free Church / Wester Coates (NT27SW Church, now National Bible Society of Scotland building. 3417) Rectangular plan Gothic-style church with buttressed belfry and broach spire at NE corner. Built 1867-8, converted and spire partly rebuilt 1975. This building faces north; only its upper part and spire may be intervisible with the proposed tram route (see Figure 8.4). L3 NT 2337 7270 Listed B Regional Industrial Russell Road, railway bridge (with retaining walls). Part of (NT27SW Caledonian Railway, opened 1842. 3-arch viaduct with battered 3549) piers. High sloping retaining wing wall to W, low retaining wall to E. Bridge continues to E as flat steel girder bridge. The bridge now carries the West Approach Road over Russell Road. The NMRS wrongly attributes this bridge to the operational railway bridge adjacent to the proposed tram route at NT 2331 7291. L4 NT 2286 7296 Listed B Regional Education 64 Roseburn St, Roseburn Primary School including Janitor’s House, NT 2284 7293 Boundary Walls, Gates, Gatepiers and Railings. 3-storey T-plan (NT27SW Renaissance school, with principal elevation facing SE, built 1893. 3577) Janitor’s House is 2-storey rectangular plan house. These buildings are still in use as a school. They may be partly intervisible with the proposed tram route (see also Figure 8.4). L5 NT 2276 7293 Listed A National Residential Roseburn House (including boundary walls and gatepiers). 2- and 3- (NT27SW 7) storey burgess’s tower, built 1582, with 17th and 18th century additions. High coped sandstone boundary walls; polished squared sandstone ashlar gatepiers. This building was not visited, and views of it from Roseburn Street are largely obscured by more recent housing. L6 NT 2188 7244 Listed B Regional Commerce 140 Balgreen Road, Jenners Depository with Lodge, Garages, (NT27SW Gatepiers, Gates and Railings. Commercial warehouse in austere 2690) classical style, generously fenestrated with traditional lodge and functional garage block, built 1925-6. The Depository is an H-plan 5- storey warehouse. The lodge is a single-storey, near-square plan, pyramidal roofed building. The garages are a single-storey, long rectangular gabled range. At the entrance from Balgreen Road are channelled stone gatepiers with cornice and ball finials, and wrought iron gates. Plainer railings bound the rest of the site. The buildings are still in use. The railway embankment south of the property supports scrubby woodland and a cycleway. L7 NT 1705 7236 Listed C(s) Local Residential Gogar Park. Early/mid 19th century, 2-storey gabled, rambling-plan (NT17SE 169) villa. The villa and landscaped grounds are recorded on Knox’s map of 1812, and on the first edition OS map (Edinburghshire, sheet 5, 1855). The extent of parkland is shown on Figure 11.1/7. See B41 and B42 for associated lodge buildings. Trees screen the listed building to the north. L8 NT 1706 7252 Listed B Regional Residential Castle Gogar Lodge, Gates and Gatepiers. Single storey L-plan (NT17SE 9.01) lodge. Recorded in the Statutory List as mid 19th century; however it is not present on the second edition OS map (Edinburghshire II.15, 1895), which appears to show an earlier lodge building on the east side of the avenue, now demolished and its site largely beneath the A8 dual carriageway. The gatepiers date to c 1900 but incorporate earlier masonry. The gates are of late 17th century date and are reputed to have been moved to Gogar from Caroline Park, Granton. The listed building has a very secluded setting within the trees lining the west side of the avenue, and is largely obscured from view from a relatively short distance to the north along the avenue (20-30m). The avenue forms one of the few surviving elements of the designed landscape associated with Castle Gogar. L9 NT 1667 7285 Listed B Regional Transport Castle Gogar, bridge. Single span rubble bridge built 1672, with later (NT17SE 9.02) ashlar saddleback coping to rubble parapet. This site was not visited. L10 NT 1650 7310 Listed A National Residential Castle Gogar / Gogar House with Cottage, Gate House, Stables, (NT17SE 9.00) Outbuildings, Gate and Gatepiers. Gogar House is a 4-storey and garret, L-plan baronial mansion built for John Cowper in 1625, with later additions. It replaced an earlier building of 14th century origin, traces of which are reported to be visible in the basement. The 2- storey, rectangular-plan cottage is of early 18th century origin. The gatepiers probably date to c 1730. See A22 for the relict designed landscape associated with Castle Gogar. The building is largely screened by trees when viewed from the south, but its west elevation is visible in the middle distance from the section of the tram route around East Mains of Ingliston. L11 NT 1682 7252 Listed B Regional Religion Gogar Parish Church and Graveyard. Former church, restored (NT17SE 3) 1890-1 and incorporating within its S transept the chancel of an earlier 16th century church. The graveyard contains earlier and mid 18th century grave monuments. The church is now used as a cabinet-maker’s workshop. The graveyard contains mature trees around its west-facing edges. These trees provide a relatively secluded aspect to the church and graveyard when viewed from the west or when stood in the graveyard. This seclusion is emphasised by the ground level of the graveyard being elevated above that of the church. The church is only partly visible through the trees at the time of survey when viewed from the farm road to Gogar Mains. The land immediately west of the churchyard is waste ground. Disused cars and vans are present immediately north of the graveyard. L12 NT 1471 7250 Listed B Regional Residential Ingliston House Lodge, Gatepiers and Boundary Walls. Single- (NT17SW storey picturesque lodge on an irregular plan, built 1846 with later 161.02) additions to the rear; 4 polygonal ashlar gatepiers and rubble boundary walls with ashlar coping. The building faces towards the proposed tram route, although views from the building are restricted by the boundary walls. L13 NT 1465 7246 Listed C(s) Local Residential 6 Glasgow Road, Middle Norton. Early 19th century single-storey, 3- (NT17SW 209) bay cottage with 2-bay addition to the E. Open views of the proposed tram route can be obtained from the front elevation of this building. L14 NT 1464 7246 Listed C(s) Local Residential 7 Glasgow Road, Middle Norton. Early 19th century 3-bay cottage (NT17SW 210) extended to the rear and side. Open views of the proposed tram route can be obtained from the front elevation of this building. L15 NT 1462 7246 Listed C(s) Local Residential 8 Glasgow Road, Middle Norton. Mid 19th century single-storey 5- (NT17SW 211) bay cottage (originally a 3-bay cottage, with a later 2-bay addition). Open views of the proposed tram route can be obtained from the front elevation of this building. L16 NT 1458 7247 Listed C(s) Local Residential 11-12 Glasgow Road, Middle Norton. Mid 19th century single-storey (NT17SW 212- terraced pair of 3-bay cottages. Open views of the proposed tram 3) route can be obtained from the front elevation of this building. L17 NT 1415 7251 Listed C(s) Local Residential Norton House Hotel, North Lodge with Gate Piers and Policy Walls. (NT17SW 54) Mid 19th century, single-storey, asymmetrical, gabled lodge with late 19th century sandstone ashlar gatepiers and random rubble policy walls. Open views of the proposed tram route can be obtained from this building. L18 NT 1402 7274 Listed C(s) Local Agricultural West Mains Of Ingliston farmhouse. Two-storey, 5-bay rectangular (NT17SW 50) farmhouse, built in 18th century and showing two construction phases. Original steading has been demolished and replaced by office buildings. The farmhouse exists within a setting of more recent buildings, and views to the proposed tram route are substantially screened. L19 NH 1351 7202 Listed B Regional Stables Norton House Hotel, stables. Near-symmetrical U-plan stables built (NT17SW 57) c 1843. No views of the proposed tram route can be obtained from this building (see also Figure 8.4). L20 NH 1355 7201 Listed B Regional Recreation Norton House Hotel, walled garden. Large rectangular walled (NT17SW 56) garden built c 1840. No views of the proposed tram route can be obtained from this building (see also Figure 8.4). L21 NT 1330 7201 Listed C(s) Local Residential Norton House Hotel, former west lodge (now Demijohn Cottage) with (NT17SW 58) boundary wall and gatepiers. Single-storey, asymmetrical, gabled, L-plan lodge. This building is enclosed by trees, and no views of the proposed tram route can be obtained (see also Figure 8.4). L22 NT 1323 7214 Listed C(s) Local Residential Harvest Road, Hillwood House with former Coach House and (NT17SW 208) Stables. Later 19th century, 2-storey, 3-bay, rectangular-plan villa. The east elevation of the villa forms the main façade of the building. The upper part of its north elevation looks down over the Glasgow- Edinburgh railway and the adjacent proposed tram route, currently fenced waste ground and a railway compound reusing the former Ratho Station (A29) site. L23 NT 1214 7270 Listed C(s) Local Commerce Newbridge, Newbridge Inn. 2-storey, gabled inn with lower 2-storey (NT17SW 49) service block at rear, dated 1895 but founded in 1683. A distant view of a short section of the proposed tram route would be visible beside Newbridge Roundabout, looking down Bridge Street, but would form a very minor addition to the townscape (see also Figure 8.4). L24 NT 1642 7203 Listed B Regional Residential Gogarburn Hospital / Gogarburn House: now being redeveloped as (NT17SE 145) part of new Royal Bank of Scotland headquarters. 2-storey, 7-bay Scots Renaissance house, built 1893, replacing or modifying an earlier structure of 1811, with additions 1896 and later additions associated with its conversion to nurses’ home within the Gogarburn hospital. As part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the ongoing redevelopment of the Gogarburn site as the Royal Bank of Scotland headquarters, it was established that the stable block, walled garden, coach house, and external walls and gateway all form part of the B listing, through their association with Gogarburn House. The NMRS wrongly attributes the primary listed building to the structure at NT 1670 7220. The site is currently being redeveloped, and was not inspected. Mature trees along the south edge of the A8 screen Gogarburn from the proposed tram route. L25 NT 1587 7231 Listed B Regional Residential Gogar Mount, North Lodge with gates, gatepiers, walls and railings. (NT17SE 35) Early 19th century, single-storey, 3-bay, rectangular-plan, E-facing lodge with flat roofed addition to rear. Low whinstone boundary walls with ashlar slab coping and plain railings flanking paired ashlar gatepiers with decorative wrought iron pedestrian and carriage gates. Views of the proposed tram route to the north are obscured by trees surrounding the property and by the rising topography to the north, although it is possible that the upper parts of poles and wires may be visible in the middle distance. This building is not depicted on Figure 11.1, as it lies outside the area of mapping. L26 NT 1442 7276 Listed A National Residential Ingliston House / headquarters of Royal Highland and Agricultural (NT17SW 161) Society. 2-storey baronial style mansion with attic, and basement on falling ground to N, built 1846. The principal elevation faces east. This building replaced an earlier mansion at Ingliston recorded on maps such as Adair (1735), Roy (1747-55), Laurie (1766), Knox (1812). The house once lay within a designed landscape, which has been substantially built over by the Royal Highland Showground, and is not depicted on Figure 11.1/9. There are open views south from the building, although the A8 road, along which the tram would run, is partly screened by the policy walls and trees. L27 NT 1453 7284 Listed A National Residential Ingliston House, Stables and Gardener’s House. U-plan, single- (NT17SW 161) storey, Scottish 17th century style stable block with 2-storey gardener’s house in SW angle, built 1900/1902. There are glimpsed views of the proposed tram route from the south elevation of this building, with screening provided by trees, hedges and buildings. L28 NT 1455 7205 Listed C(s) Local Agricultural Norton Mains, steading and garden walls. Earlier 19th century, 2- (NT17SW 60) storey, 3-bay, rectangular-plan farmhouse with some later 19th century additions. High rubble walls enclose the farmhouse garden to the E and N. Early 19th century rubble steading on quadrangular plan surrounding central cattlecourt, with later 19th century additions. The NMRS details newspaper records suggesting that the construction of this site was being planned in 1807. This property was not visited, although it appears relatively secluded when viewed from the A8 road, and lies outside the visual envelope depicted on Figure 8.4. L29 NT 1362 7191 Listed B Regional Commerce Norton House Hotel. 2-storey, asymmetrical gabled, rambling-plan (NT17SW 53) house, built c 1838 with additions c 1890 and remodelling upon later conversion to a hotel. This building is not intervisible with the proposed tram route. This building is not depicted on Figure 11.1, as it lies outside the area of mapping. L30 NT 1415 7210 Listed B Regional Transport Norton House Hotel, railway bridge. Single-span, Tudor-Gothic (NT17SW 55) railway bridge, built c 1841 to carry Caledonian Railway (opened 1842) over the main drive to Norton House. L31 NT 1194 7277 Listed B Regional Transport New Bridge, Newbridge. 2-span segmental arch bridge with third (NT17SW 215) over-flow arch; built c 1800 and repaired 1992. This structure is not intervisible with the proposed tram route (see also Figure 8.4). L32 NT 2321 7257 Listed B Regional Municipal 16-20 Mcleod Street. Former Public Works office built 1897.

APPENDIX 2 – OTHER ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES

No NGR Class Description / baseline Importance (NMRS Ref) A1 NT 230 729 Roman coin A Dupondius of Trajan, AD 98-9, was found in 1979 on the ground at the Lesser (NT27SW 74) (findspot) Corporation Centre, Russell Road (Robertson 1984, 414). The findspot is probably the District Works Office (B16). A2 NT 2273 7293 Dovecot (site A natural grass-covered mound, 6m by 4m, W of Roseburn House is the site Local (NT27SW 38) of); cists of a former dovecot. The mound had been previously suggested as a (findspot) prehistoric barrow based upon an earlier account of the discovery of cist burials during the levelling of a mound near Roseburn House (RCAHMS 1951, 231, no 182). The dovecot is depicted, but not annotated, on the first and second edition OS maps (Edinburghshire; sheet 2, 1855; sheet III.10, 1895). This site was not visited, but is not intervisible with the proposed tram route (Figure 8.4). A3 NT 2150 7225 Field boundary Archaeological field evaluation in 1999 within Carrick Knowe golf course, Lesser (NT17SE 197) ditch along the proposed CERT line, revealed evidence of cultivation and a field boundary ditch containing 18th-20th century artefacts (Discovery Excav Scot 1999, 37). This field boundary is recorded on the second edition OS map (Edinburghshire, sheet III.10, 1895), but is absent from the first edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet 2, 1855). A4 NT 21 72 Cup-marked A cup-marked stone was found in a dyke near Saughtonhall c 1896 and was Lesser (NT27SW 79) stone (findspot) donated to the National Museum. Its precise discovery location is not known (Proc Soc Antiq Scot 1895-6, 202), and this site is therefore not annotated on Figure 11.1. A5 NT 2091 7192 Building The second edition OS map (Edinburghshire, sheet III.9, 1895) records a Lesser (N/a) roofed terrace building at this location. No earlier map sources record this feature. The building has been demolished and its site lies within level grassland. A6 NT 2071 7187 Building The second edition OS map (Edinburghshire, sheet III.9, 1895) records a Lesser (N/a) roofed building at this location. No earlier map sources record this feature. This building has been demolished, and the site is used as a car scrapyard. A pier of masonry forming the SE corner of the scrapyard may have formed part of the building. A7 NT 2048 7183 Railway station Site of Saughton Junction Station. Corstorphine Station is recorded at this Lesser (NT27SW 174) (site of) location on the first edition OS map (Edinburghshire, sheet 2, 1855), at which time only a single railway line existed. A series of buildings are depicted on the second edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet III.9, 1895). This site was not visited. A8 NT 203 717 Parkland The first and second edition OS maps (Edinburghshire: sheet 2, 1855; sheet Local (N/a) III.9, 1895) record a series of tree-lined boundaries in this area, forming the northern end of a rectangular, compartmented designed landscape associated with the former Old Saughton House. These features are also shown in less detail on earlier maps published by e.g. Adair (1735), Laurie (1763) and Kirkwood (1817). The land is now landscaped grass. A lone mature sycamore tree may have been part of one of the internal avenues, and other areas of solid ground appear to mask other tree stumps possibly running along the northern boundary of the former landscape. Several trees are visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 1961, although they did not form any clear pattern. A9 NT 183 714 Enclosure (site A 19th century double-ditched enclosure was excavated in August 2002, at Lesser (NT17SE 54) of) which time other 19th century features were revealed (Discovery Excav Scot 2002, 47-8). These features may be associated with the former farm of Culton, recorded approximately at this location on the maps produced by Knox (1812) and Kirkwood (1817). The excavations dismissed as a natural feature what was previously thought to be a cropmark prehistoric enclosure at this location. The site is currently under development. A10 NT 1798 7173 Farm (site of) Redheughs farm is recorded on all examined maps dating from Blaeu Lesser (NT17SE 265) (1654) to the second edition OS map (Edinburghshire, II.16, 1895). Medieval artefacts discovered in the vicinity during excavations in 1992 may indicate a medieval origin to the farm (J Lawson, pers comm). This site has been demolished and the site is now occupied by new buildings within Edinburgh Park. A11 NT 1782 7167 Farm (site of) Gogar Green farm is first recorded by Knox (1812). It is depicted as a Lesser (N/a) roofed steading range and farmhouse on the first edition OS map (Edinburghshire, sheet 5, 1855). It has since been demolished and the site is now occupied by new buildings within Edinburgh Park. A12 NT 1785 7186 Ring-ditch (site A cropmark ring-ditch site was excavated in 1992. The function of the Lesser (NT17SE 21) of) feature was not established, although pottery evidence suggested a Bronze Age date (Discovery Excav Scot 1992, 52-3). The site is now occupied by buildings within Edinburgh Park. A13 NT 1810 7176 Cultivation Plough-truncated medieval cultivation marks were excavated 1990-2 Lesser (NT17SE 71) marks (site of) (Discovery Excav Scot 1992, 52-3). The site is now occupied by buildings within Edinburgh Park. A14 NT 1802 7182 Settlement Excavations 1990-2 revealed the very severely plough-truncated remains of Lesser (NT17SE 71) remains (site of) undated curvilinear features, pits and post-holes (Discovery Excav Scot 1992, 52-3). The site is now occupied by buildings within Edinburgh Park. A15 NT 1790 7203 Prehistoric field Excavations 1990-2 revealed shallow ditches and other linear features, Lesser (NT17SE 71) system (site of) incorporating a possible trackway, that appeared to relate to a prehistoric field system. Post-holes and pits, one containing possible Neolithic pottery, were also identified (Discovery Excav Scot 1992, 52-3). The site is now occupied by Lochside Crescent and adjacent verge within Edinburgh Park. A16 NT 1789 7208 Structure (site Excavations 1990-2 detected what may have been the vestigial remains of a Lesser (NT17SE 71) of) timber roundhouse, with an unrelated series of post-holes present nearby. The structure lay at the edge of the former Gogar Loch, beside which a gravel surface was detected sealed between two silt deposits infilling the loch (Discovery Excav Scot 1992, 52-3). The site is now occupied by Lochside Crescent within Edinburgh Park. A17 NT 1765 7175 Roman Cropmarks of two Roman camps have been recorded at Gogar. The Lesser (NT17SE 24) Temporary western lies outside the search area. Maxwell and Wilson (1987, 38-9) Camp recorded the eastern as measuring c 300m N-S by 250m transversely, enclosing an area of c. 7.5 hectares. Figure 11.1/7 depicts the extent of the cropmark remains of the perimeter ditch of this camp, as visible on aerial photographs, and (dashed) the extrapolated extent based upon Maxwell and Wilson’s description. This indicates that the camp extended into the search area, although not as far east as the proposed tram line. Trenches were cut through the east side of the camp ditch in the early 1980s, in advance of the construction of the Edinburgh City Bypass, revealing it to have been little more than 1m wide and 0.5m deep. On the N side the ditch was deeper and wider, and Roman pottery was found in the base of one excavated section. No trace of the camp was detected during the 1992 excavations within Maybury Park (see A12-16; J Lawson, pers comm). Within the search area the site is now almost wholly occupied by buildings within Edinburgh Park. A18 NT 176 717 Linear cropmark Aerial photographs record a linear cropmark of unknown date and function Lesser (NT17SE 58) cutting across the Roman camp (A17). It may have once continued eastwards into the search area, but if so any trace is likely to have been destroyed with the construction of Edinburgh Park. A19 NT 180 722 Gogar Loch The former Gogar Loch is recorded on the maps produced by Adair (1735) Local (N/a) and Laurie (1763). In 1786 Laurie mapped the loch as an area of marshy ground named ‘Corstorphin Meadow’. It is absent from more recent maps examined. The former loch appears to have lain mostly outside the search area, although its edge was detected during excavations in 1992 (see A16). A20 NT 1685 7271 Enclosure Archaeological field evaluation in 1999 along the proposed CERT line Unknown (NT17SE 197) revealed the remains of two V-shaped ditches, possibly forming part of a prehistoric double-ditched enclosure, in trial trenches opened over a length of 90m in the field north of the former Gogar Church (Discovery Excav Scot 1999, 37). This site lies in agricultural land, and no surface trace is visible. A21 NT 1667 7276 Hearth Archaeological field evaluation in 1999 along the proposed CERT line Unknown (NT17SE 197) revealed the remains of a coal-fired hearth at this location, and medieval pottery was recovered within the fill of an old stream channel adjacent to it (Discovery Excav Scot 1999, 37). This site lies in agricultural land, and no surface trace is visible. A22 NT 166 727 Designed Early maps indicate that Castle Gogar (L10) stood within a designed Local area landscape landscape of tree-lined enclosures, although these sources (e.g. Adair 1735, (N/a) Laurie 1763, Knox 1812) record considerably different extents to the enclosures. These variations could indicate changes to the layout of the landscape, but more probably reflect different standards of cartography and stylistic representations. The first edition OS map (Edinburghshire, sheet 1, 1855) shows little of the former landscape, reflecting the development of improved arable fields to the south of the mansion. The map depicts a tree- lined avenue and what appears to be a clump plantation and possibly a tree- line within a large arable field. Figure 11.1/7-8 depicts the likely maximal extent of the designed landscape within the search corridor, following the extents mapped by Knox (1812). A23 NT 167 724 Battle site On 27 August 1650 a skirmish took place around Gogar between the armies Local (NT17SE 7) of Oliver Cromwell and General Leslie. The latter appears to have camped in the area around Gogar Church and Gogar Park. The boggy nature of the ground prevented the armies coming together at close quarters (Douglas 1898, 79-85). The precise locations of these activities are not known, and thus the site is not annotated on Figure 11.1. No physical traces of the skirmish are known. A24 NT 168 725 Nether Gogar, A village with a population of 300 once stood at Nether Gogar (Bonnar National / (NT17SE 66) medieval and 1891, 12). Early maps record the settlement variously as Nether Gogar Lesser later settlement (Blaeu 1654, Laurie 1763, Armstrong & Armstrong 1773, Knox 1812) or Gogartoun (Adair 1735). These sources indicate several buildings to be present in the area north of the A8 and around the former Gogar church (L11). Sharp et al (1828) recorded the settlement in ruins, and thereafter buildings were mostly restricted to cottages fronting onto Glasgow Road. The first edition OS map (Edinburghshire, sheet 5, 1855) depicts two roofed buildings present to the west of the track leading to the church from the south: these no longer survive. Vertical aerial photographs from 1946 and 1973 appear to show what may be structures and cultivation rigs in the field SE of the church, and the 1946 photographs also appear to show two rectangular buildings between Gogar Church and the farm to the north.

There are no visible remains of the early settlement in this area. Traces of medieval settlement were discovered during archaeological excavations conducted in advance of the construction of a flyover to serve the new Royal Bank of Scotland headquarters at Gogarburn (shown as A24a on Figure 11.1/7). The remains comprised a number of ditches and pits, dated by pottery to the 12th-15th centuries. The features may represent the plough- truncated remains of domestic and agricultural activity associated with the core of the settlement, which probably lay a little further east, focussed on Gogar Church (L11). Traces of a mill lade were identified further downslope, towards the Gogar Burn (Morrison 2003). The City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service has identified two areas within which buried remains of the medieval settlement of Nether Gogar can be expected to survive, and these are depicted as A24b on Figure 11.1/7. A25 NT 1536 7305 Pillbox RCAHMS has identified a possible pillbox from a 1946 vertical aerial Local (NT17SE photograph, located at the SW edge of the former RAF Turnhouse airfield. 70.13) Vertical aerial photographs taken in 1973 (eg BKS 2274/126) appear to show a square structure at this location. Field survey confirmed the existence of this structure. It is brick-built, measuring c 3 across and surviving c 1m high with no roof. It stands within a fenced enclosure, surrounded by hawthorn trees, scrub and is overgrown with brambles. A26 NT 144 727 Long cists Hutchison (1868, 191) reported the discovery of long cists at Ingliston. No Lesser (NT17SW 21) (findspot) further details are known. The exact findspot is uncertain but probably lay within what is now the Royal Highland Showground. A27 NT 1404 7274 Roman carved A weathered Roman carved stone depicting a bird standing with spread Lesser (NT17SW 23) stone wings is built into the S gable of the E range of the steading at West Mains of Ingliston farm. It was first recorded in 1699, when it was built into the wall of a house (Cormack 1971, 290-1). The original location of discovery of the stone is not known, although it could have derived from an undiscovered Roman site in the vicinity, or possibly from the Roman complex at Cramond. A28 NT 135 720 Fermtoun The general area of Norton House (L29) has been occupied since the Unknown (N/a) medieval period, with the presence of a fermtoun first recorded in 1290 (J Lawson, pers comm). It was presumably removed to make way for the construction of Norton House and associated buildings and landscape in the 1830s. Early maps (e.g. Adair 1735, Laurie 1763; Armstrong & Armstrong 1773) depict up to 8 buildings at this settlement. The precise location of this site is not known, and thus the site is not annotated on Figure 11.1. A29 NT 1330 7218 Transport Ratho Low Level Station, opened 1842 and closed 1951. The first edition Lesser (NT17SW 75) OS map records the presence of several buildings between diverging railway lines (Edinburghshire, sheet 1, 1855). The station building is visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 1973. Field inspection revealed that the buildings have been demolished, although a raised platform is preserved, revetted by a c 1m high sandstone wall. A30 NT 123 724 Prehistoric An archaeological evaluation (Discovery Excav Scot 1992, 54) and more Lesser (NT17SW 90) burials (site of) recent excavations (Discovery Excav Scot 2001, 44-5) took place in advance of the construction of Newbridge Industrial Estate. Prehistoric features identified included an enclosure, pits, post-holes, a human cremation, a group of ring-ditches and an Iron Age cart burial. Medieval pits and cultivation remains were also identified. The site has since been developed as part of an industrial estate. A31 NT 1245 7255 Watching brief An archaeological watching brief conducted at this location revealed nothing Lesser (NT17SW 90) of archaeological significance (Discovery Excav Scot 1999, 43-4). The site has since been developed. A32 NT 1215 7250 Battle site; cists This is the reputed site of a battle that took place c AD 995 between the Unknown (NT17SW 24) (findspot) armies of Malcolm II, commanded by his brother Kenneth, and Constantine, the usurper (Hutchison 1868, 191). The battle is said to have ranged between Huly Hill (S2) and the Catstane (Edinburgh Airport). Hutchison believed that the Huly Hill barrow contained those killed in battle. However Huly Hill is a prehistoric burial monument, and this association seems unlikely. No certain physical remains of the battle are known, and thus the site is not annotated on Figure 11.1. A33 NT 121 733 Prehistoric Recent archaeological evaluation has revealed the plough-truncated Regional (N/a) remains remains of a small ring-gully (either a timber structure or grave enclosure), ditches, pits and a stone structure in currently undeveloped land on the N side of Edinburgh Road at Newbridge (Heawood 2003). The land has not been developed, and buried remains of these and other, as yet undiscovered, archaeological remains will survive. A34 NT 1263 7364 Archaeological A programme of archaeological works was conducted recently at Lochend Unknown (N/a) works (J Lawson, pers comm), although no results are available as yet. A35 NT 1573 7273 Pit alignment Vertical aerial photographs taken in 1946 (eg 106G/Scot/UK 119, frame Unknown (N/a) (possible) 5075) appear to show the soil marks of an alignment of at least five pits on an E/W alignment. Similar alignments are visible on the aerial photographs c 175m SE and 350m ENE. These could be the remains of prehistoric pitted boundaries, although excavation would be required to confirm this hypothesis. There are no surface traces of these features in arable land, although buried remains may be expected to survive. A36 NT 1387 7240 Enclosures Vertical aerial photographs taken in 1973 (eg BKS 2274/136) show a Unknown (N/a) (possible) curvilinear ditched soil mark, possibly the buried remains of the NW quadrant of an enclosure. A second soil mark, of a penannular ditched feature, open to the north and enclosing a squared trace, lies SE of the curvilinear ditch and within the extrapolated interior of the enclosure. These could be the buried remains of prehistoric features, although excavation would be required to test this hypothesis. There are no surface traces of these features in arable land.
