Sources 24 1 1. Summary information Location and boundaries The Inverleith Conservation Area is located to the north of the New Town Conservation Area, 1.5 kilometres north of the city centre and covers an area of 232 hectares. The conservation area is bounded by Ferry Road to the north, the western boundary of Fettes College, the eastern boundary of Warriston Cemetery and Comely Bank/Water of Leith/Glenogle Road to the south. The boundary includes Fettes College, Inverleith Park, the Royal Botanic Garden, Warriston Cemetery and Tanfield. The area falls within Inverleith, Forth and Leith Walk wards and is covered by the Stockbridge/Inverleith, Trinity and New Town/Broughton Community Councils. The population of Inverleith Conservation Area in 2011 was 4887. Dates of designation/amendments The conservation area was originally designated in October 1977. The boundary was amended in 1996 and again in 2006 to exclude areas which no longer contributed to the character of the conservation area. A conservation area character appraisal was published in 2006, and a management plan in 2010. The Stockbridge Colonies were removed from the Inverleith Conservation Area boundary in 2013 to form a separate conservation area.

  • The Register of Burials in the Churchyard of Restalrig 1728
    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.

Recommendations 1.1 It is recommended that Committee: 1.1.1 agrees the strategic statement concerning investment in town centres and local centres; 1.1.2 agrees that the Council prepare a schedule of key projects in town and local centres as a resource to inform future investment following the consultation process set out in this report; and 1.1.3 discharges the motion of 6 June 2019 regarding the strategic statement. Paul Lawrence Executive Director of Place Contact: David Cooper, Service Manager - Development E-mail: [email protected] | Tel: 0131 529 6233 Page 1 Report Investment in town centres – Strategic statement 2. Executive Summary 2.1 This report sets out a proposed strategic statement for investment in town centres and local centres in Edinburgh. 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).

Disbursement lists, receipts and bills have been located for the period 1763-1810. There is also an account book kept by William McNab (filed in the William McNab boxes in the RBGE Archive) detailing the names of individuals working in the ‘new’ (Inverleith) garden 1821-23. Gardening staff are (mostly) not specifically identified. The book is also difficult to read and awaits full transcription. Gardeners other than Head Gardeners and the years their names appear in accounts Information is from the duplicate documents at RBGE obtained from originals held at the NRS and also from the transcribed accounts made by Isaac Bayley Balfour (R.K.), held at RBGE.

  • 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.
