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.

  • Leith Walk Garden Named Gardeners
    Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh – Leith Walk Garden Named Gardeners A list of 162 named gardeners recorded in the garden accounts as working at Leith Walk Garden between 1763 and 1810 Regius Keepers: John Hope born 1725 Regius Keeper 1761 died 1786 Daniel Rutherford born 1749 Regius Keeper 1786 died 1819 Robert Graham born 1786 Regius Keeper 1820 died 1845 (the Botanic Garden moved to its current site in Inverleith between 1821 and 1823) Head Gardeners/Principal Gardeners: As named in Notes of the Royal Botanic Garden vol.iii no.xii, 1904 John Williamson died as PG 1780 (he was already Principal Gardener by the time the Leith Walk Garden was established) Malcolm McCoig PG ?1782 – 1789 (died) Robert Menzies PG 1789 – 1799 (died) John McKay b.1772 PG 1800– 1802 (died) George Don b.?1764 PG 1802 – 1806? (resigned) died 1814 Thomas Somerville b.c1783 PG 1806 – 1810 (died) William McNab b.1780 PG 1810 – 1848 (died) Gardeners were named on the list of disbursements (or small garden related payments) kept by the head gardener and they were usually required to sign a receipt of payment. 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.
