The former mill town is a suburb of the Scottish capital, but its original heart is still known as Colinton Village and it is this name that gives the best clue as to the atmosphere of the area. With its beautiful surroundings, speciality shops, bars and eateries, it is no wonder that Colinton is such a sought-after place to live. As you enjoy the peaceful surroundings, it is sometimes difficult to believe that you are only a short distance from Edinburgh city centre. Colinton is a conservation area and just to the north of the village is Colinton Dell, which nestles beside the tranquil Water of Leith and is a natural wildlife haven. Visitors from the Water of Leith Walkway often stop at the village to enjoy a meal and take in the historic buildings, including architect Sir Robert Lorimer’s once-innovative Arts and Crafts cottages, built in the early 1900s. The village was once a big producer of snuff, textiles and paper, and some of the old mill buildings can still be seen. It is believed that the first notes that were made by the Bank of Scotland were printed on Colinton paper. Colinton village is a haven for children, who can not only enjoy the Dell’s natural entertainment, but also Spylaw Park and its play area. The area is home to Merchiston Castle School, the city’s only all-boys independent boarding school, along with excellent state schools, Firrhill High School and Bonaly Primary School. A short distance away is the renowned George Watson’s College which is an integrated independent school. The area is serviced by several bus routes that pass through the village and surrounding areas, providing excellent links with the city, the Royal Infirmary and other useful locations. 4 West Mill Heights • Colinton • Edinburgh West Mill Heights • Colinton • Edinburgh 5 SPYLAW PARK A short walk from West Mill Heights, you can find Spylaw Park positioned on the edge of the riverbank and just off the main footpath through Colinton Dell. The park is mostly grassed with matured flower beds and trees. It is ideal for enjoying a summer’s day or a family picnic. Generous open areas create a wonderful space for exercising. There is bench seating throughout the park and a children’s playground that is very popular with the local community. 6 West Mill Heights • Colinton • Edinburgh West Mill Heights • Colinton • Edinburgh 7 WEST MILL HEIGHTS THE DEVELOPMENT West Mill Heights, Colinton, is where a classically desirable address meets contemporary design.

    Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour Colinton District Great War Roll of Honour: Restricted [Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford] This portion of the Edinburgh Great War Roll of Honour is part of a much larger work that will be published over a period of time. It should also be noted that this particular roll is also a restricted one of Great War casualties giving basic details of each casualty: Name, Rank, Battalion/Ship/Squadron, Regiment/Service, Number. Special awards. Cause and date of death. Age. Place commemorated or buried. Birthplace. District of Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour name is recorded in. The reason this roll is presently restricted is that we would like to invite and give the greater community the opportunity to fill out the story of each casualty, even helping identify casualties that appear on local memorials that cannot be clearly identified or have some details missing. These latter casualties appear in red with some having question marks in the area that needs to be clarified. It is also worth noting at this point that the names of some casualties appear on more than one district. The larger Roll of Honour [RoH] will also include information about those who served and survived and again the hope is that the wider community will come forward and share the story of their ancestors’ who served in the Great War, whether a casualty or survivor. The larger RoH will contain information such as: Name. Rank, Battalion/Ship/Squadron, Regiment/Service. Born when and where? Parent’s names and address.

  • Walks Around the Parish of Colinton
    Turn left into Pentland Road and admire ‘Stonehouse’ on the corner. It was the last house that Lorimer designed in Colinton. Then turn COLINTON right into Pentland Avenue, where several Lorimer-designed houses were built. ‘Colinton Cottage’ (No 23) was the first Lorimer house to be built in Colinton and was the Miss Guthrie Wright Memorial LOCAL HISTORY Home for Queen’s Nurses. Miss Wright was Lorimer’s aunt. Other examples of his work are ‘The Rowans’ (No 21), ‘Westfield’ (No 40) SOCIETY and ‘Binley’ (No 42). Turn around and walk back along Pentland Avenue as far as No 11. Just past this house, turn right down the path known as ‘The Shoot’ with its high stone walls bordering the gardens on each side. It brings you out at the bridge over the Water of Leith. Below the Bridge was the site of Colinton Station and the old railway line built in 1874. Trains carried passengers until 1943 and freight until 1967. In 1973 it became a walkway. Walks around the parish of Colinton Do not cross the bridge, but take the road on the left at the foot of The Shoot, then turn immediately right down a short flight of steps to a car park. Around this area, various millwheels have been scattered to remind people of bygone days. Turn right and walk Walk 1: under the road bridge on to the Water of Leith Walkway, on the route of the old railway. The Long Steps – Parish Church – Spylaw Bank Road – The Shoot - Old Colinton Station – Spylaw Park – After about 100 yards, a gap in the wall will take you into Spylaw Park.

However, being impartial does not equate to passivity. That same Assembly instructed its Church and Society Council to help the Church to engage at civic, political and local level with questions related to the constitutional future of Scotland, particularly how independence might impact on the poorest and most vulnerable people. The Church and Society Council has made a commitment to making theological, ethical and spiritual contributions to public policy and decision-making with a bias to the poor, speaking for the Church of Scotland on these issues, speaking truth to power and bringing to that voice the authenticity of congregational experiences. Running ‘Imagining Scotland’s Future: Community Consultations’ is one manifestation of that commitment. We believe that it is vital to encourage public participation in this momentous decision about Scotland’s constitutional future. With willing folk and offers of host churches from across Scotland, we set about running a series of community consultation events under the banner of ‘Imagining Scotland’s Future’. We sought to create safe spaces for dialogue for people to think together about what values they want to underpin Scottish society and what shared vision we can aspire to.

At the end of 1982 negotiations were still not concluded between the Council and the contractors McTaggart and Mickel regarding the purchase of the High Green land between Belford Road and the river. No plans could be found regarding the ownership of the path across this land, called locally “The Stinking Brae”. The Council lodged a compulsory purchase order in order to gain ownership. Residents were concerned that this right of way might disappear under the new flats. One year later these problems were resolved but there was a possibility that the development might not happen. A detailed survey of the land was conducted by the developers who were satisfied that the plans could go ahead. The sale of the land was completed. In 1985 the architects T. M. Gray and Associates started work on the design of the flats. The plans would be open for inspection to all residents. Inner Damside. In 1984 Smart’s started work on their plans, originally approved in 1980, to build fifteen flats, twenty-seven maisonettes and sixteen houses in the area that once housed the Legget’s skinnery. The plan stipulated that a public footpath be created along the bank of the river. The developers hoped to have the first 1 residences for sale in the summer of 1985. Burnside’s shop had become vacant following the death of the owner and had not been included in the plans for the rest of the area.
