  • The Ayrshire Hermit
    Newsletter March 2012 F.O.L.K.F.O.L.K. NEWSLETTERNEWSLETTER Vandals strike again A phone call from a member of the public brought the sad news that Loudoun Kirk had once again been the target of vandals. The lady, who first advised us of the problem had been visiting her family grave just before Christmas and noticed pieces of lead at the base of the kirk. We have to carry out all repairs to the kirk according to Historic Scotland's standards and unfortunately we are not allowed to use any of the modern preventative measures to deter metal thieves. All the lead was taken from the kirk during autumn 2010 and the company who carried out the work of renewing the lead fitted the lead in such a way, that it would make it difficult for any would-be thief to remove it all again easily, whilst still working within the bounds of Historic Scotland's legislation. Thankfully this worked and recent attempts were thwarted by this simple but ingenious method. Although in this instance, the lead on one side has been badly damaged, none of it was removed. It can be clearly seen in the photograph how the lead on the lower half of the right side of the roof has been ripped up (with the use of an 18” chisel, found at the scene). Some of the lead tabs holding it on were taken off and sadly the stone cross broken off from the top. Although there is a reasonable amount of damage to the lead and cross, nothing has been taken.

Designed by Charles Robert Cockerell in the 1820's on the summit of Calton Hill to house the mortal remains of those who had fallen in the Napoleonic Wars, it ended as an odd ruin with only part of the stylobate, twelve columns and their architrave at the West end completed in its Craigleith stone (fig.

  • Appendix 2 OLD TOWN DRAFT CONSERVATION AREA
    Appendix 2 OLD TOWN DRAFT CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER APPRAISAL LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES The Old Town is an easily recognised entity within the wider city boundaries, formed along the spine of the hill which tails down from the steep Castle rock outcrop and terminates at the Palace of Holyroodhouse. It has naturally defined boundaries to the north, where the valley contained the old Nor’ Loch, and on the south the corresponding parallel valley of the Cowgate. The northern and western boundaries of the Conservation Area are well defined by the Castle and Princes Street Gardens, and to the east by Calton Hill and Calton Road. Arthur’s Seat, to the southeast, is a dominating feature which clearly defines the edge of the Conservation Area. DATES OF DESIGNATION/AMENDMENTS The Old Town Conservation Area was designated in July 1977 with amendments in 1982, 1986 and 1996. An Article 4 Direction Order which restricts normally permitted development rights was first made in 1984. WORLD HERITAGE STATUS The Old Town Conservation Area forms part of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site which was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage Site list in 1995. This was in recognition of the outstanding architectural, historical and cultural importance of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh. Inscription as a World Heritage Site brings no additional statutory powers. However, in terms of UNESCO’s criteria, the conservation and protection of the World Heritage Site are paramount issues. Inscription commits all those involved with the development and management of the Site to ensure measures are taken to protect and enhance the area for future generations.

  • New Nelson Monument Exhibition Charts 'Edinburgh's Forgotten
    Website │ Twitter │ Instagram FREE TO USE IMAGES AVAILABLE HERE Press release for immediate use New Nelson Monument exhibition charts ‘Edinburgh’s Forgotten Astronomer’ Charles Piazzi Smyth’s place in the city’s history Alastair Bruce, Royal Observatory astronomer and actor, as Charles Piazzi Smyth. Photo (c) Ian Georgeson Charles Piazzi Smyth Exhibition, Nelson Monument, 1st April, Free Exhibition Entry (£6 to climb the tower) A fascinating free new exhibition – part of a year-long series of events - opens in Edinburgh aiming to establish Charles Piazzi Smyth’s place in Edinburgh’s history. The exhibition, housed in Edinburgh’s iconic Nelson Monument, presents Piazzi Smyth’s photography, paintings and drawings, alongside a newly commissioned short film and interviews in what will be the first major exhibition in Edinburgh dedicated to the forgotten astronomer. The location of the exhibition itself carries strong significance as in 1852 Piazzi Smyth started the Time Ball service which involved hoisting a large ball from the top of Nelson Monument which would drop at exactly one o’clock every day as a as a time signal to ships docked in Leith harbour. In 1861 Piazzi Smyth added an audible element and set up the One O’ Clock Gun service from Edinburgh Castle, stretching a cable all the way from Calton Hill to another clock on Castle Rock, which fired the Gun. The cable is no longer in place but both the Time Ball on Nelson Monument and the One O’ Clock Gun still remain active today, providing a daily reminder of Piazzi Smyth’s legacy to the city.
