  • 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.

  • FRIENDS of BRAIDBURN VALLEY PARK WEBSITE HISTORY Origins
    FRIENDS OF BRAIDBURN VALLEY PARK WEBSITE HISTORY Origins The distinguished geologist, Louis Agassiz of Neuchatel, studying grooves on a rock near the eastern end of the Hermitage of Braid, concluded that they had been formed by ice. It was confirmed by Professor Gordon Davies of Trinity College, Dublin that the valley from Comiston along the Braidburn Valley, the Hermitage and on to Liberton Dams was carved out by glacial action and, later, by powerful waters from melting ice. Three hundred years ago Braidburn Valley Park lies in a triangle of suburban development. However, early records show that a large area of land was purchased (we know not from whom) by a Mr Andrew Brown in 1719. It included Plewlands, Greenbank and a large area of land near Grange House, which eventually became part of the extensive Mortonhall Estate. The land was far beyond built-up Edinburgh and was farmed until the late 19th Century. Water Works Edinburgh‘s earliest piped water supply came from the Comiston Springs and there is much evidence today of the infrastructure started in 1681. Just to the south of the Braidburn Valley Park, off Oxgangs Avenue, lies Cockmylane, where a small stone building stands. Here the water from the various springs (called the fox, hare, swan and peewit springs) was collected and piped into Edinburgh. The first pipes were wooden and an example can be seen at Huntly House Museum in the Canongate, along with the lead figures of the appropriate animals. These pipes were superseded by lead pipes of various diameters, laid one foot under the ground and two pipe markers can be seen to this day in the Braidburn Valley Park on the eastern side of the valley opposite the Braid Hills Hotel.
