    lifelii p" I (SCOTTISH RECORD SOCIETY, INDEX TO THE REGISTER OF BURIALS IN THE CHURCHYARD OF RESTALRIG, 1728-1854. c EDITED BY FRANCIS J. 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.

The report proposes the preparation of a schedule of key projects setting out the priority for investment in each town and local centre. Finally, the report provides an update on funds for investment in town centres. 3. Background 3.1 The Edinburgh Local Development Plan (LDP) identifies eight town centres in Edinburgh (listed in Appendix 1 and mapped in Appendix 2). The role of the town centres as set out in the LDP is to “serve as a focal point for their local communities providing a diverse mix of shopping facilities and other commercial and community services.” 3.2 The LDP also identifies 61 existing (and four proposed) local centres in Edinburgh (listed in Appendix 1 and mapped in Appendix 2).

    Dalrymple Crescent a Snapshot of Victorian Edinburgh

    DALRYMPLE CRESCENT A SNAPSHOT OF VICTORIAN EDINBURGH Joanne Lamb ABOUT THE BOOK A cross-section of life in Edinburgh in the 19th century: This book focuses on a street - Dalrymple Crescent - during that fascinating time. Built in the middle of the 19th century, in this one street came to live eminent men in the field of medicine, science and academia, prosperous merchants and lawyers, The Church, which played such a dominant role in lives of the Victorians, was also well represented. Here were large families and single bachelors, marriages, births and deaths, and tragedies - including murder and bankruptcy. Some residents were drawn to the capital by its booming prosperity from all parts of Scotland, while others reflected the Scottish Diaspora. This book tells the story of the building of the Crescent, and of the people who lived there; and puts it in the context of Edinburgh in the latter half of the 19th century COPYRIGHT First published in 2011 by T & J LAMB, 9 Dalrymple Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 2NU www.dcedin.co.uk This digital edition published in 2020 Text copyright © Joanne Lamb 2011 Foreword copyright © Lord Cullen 2011 All rights reserved.

    OPEN SPACE 2021 Edinburgh’S Open Space Strategy

    OPEN SPACE 2021 Edinburgh’s Open Space Strategy December 2016 Foreword Edinburgh is a capital celebrated for its greenspaces with the highest proportion of public parks and gardens of any Scottish city; a record matched by the number of Green Flag Award winning parks receiving annual recognition for their good management and active community involvement. Our green network has formed the setting for successive eras of city growth, born out of the natural landscape of hills and valleys, adapted from private grounds, rail corridors and from the regeneration of the canal and former industrial sites. Improving access to good quality green space for everyone across the city benefits health and wellbeing, supports urban wildlife and encourages investment in Edinburgh’s economy. This Strategy, Open Space 2021, establishes principles guiding the continued protection, management and expansion of our green network over the next five years. Key challenges ahead include the delivery of new parks and active travel connections as the city expands, creating inspiring places for new communities to socialise, grow food, play, keep active and experience nature, and which are resource efficient and climate-change ready. In addition to sustaining the quality of existing green spaces, there are opportunities for people to come together to create community gardens and allotments, to re-naturalise our ‘living landscape’ and to enhance the city’s historic cemeteries and burial grounds. We would like to thank the local groups and organisations that helped shape Open Space 2021. Through our collective efforts, Edinburgh will continue to be justly proud of its parks, green spaces and natural heritage and help to make the vision of a Central Scotland Green Network a reality.
