  • Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford]
    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.

  • Nursery Handbook
    Corstorphine Primary School Nursery Handbook Session 2020-2021 Welcome to the Nursery The staff at Corstorphine Primary School Nursery extend a warm welcome to you and your child and look forward to working with you. This handbook offers an introduction to our Nursery and some information that will help you in the early days. We understand that when your child starts Nursery it is a big step and we aim to make this transition as smooth as possible. Our Nursery children will be working within the Early Level of Curriculum for Excellence and will learn through engaging play-based experiences. When it is safe to mix groups of children, there will be opportunities for the children to do collaborative working with Primary 1 and Primary 6 buddies. Partnership with parents is vital and we are keen to encourage you to take an active role in the life of the Nursery. At present, we know that things are very different and so we will explore ways in which we can ensure you feel part of the nursery. We are always here to help, so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us by telephone on 0131 334 3865 or by email to [email protected]. Most concerns can be resolved very easily.

It offers an insight into the life and ethos of the school and also offers advice and assistance which you may find helpful in supporting and getting involved in your child’s education.

  • 4. the Water of Leith As Stated in the Introduction, This Will Be a Briefer
    4. The Water of Leith As stated in the Introduction, this will be a briefer account than those for the other rivers, following the same template in the upper reaches, but focussing on tributaries past and present once within the city boundary of Edinburgh, until the last stretch through Leith. The sources of the Water of Leith are springs at near 400m height on the northern slopes of West Cairn Hill and Colzium Hill, in the Pentland Range. These feed three streams, rather unimaginatively named, ‘West Burn’, ‘Mid Burn’, and ‘East Burn’, which join together near the hamlet of Colzium, to form the Water of Leith, at Grid Reference NT 086 589. From here, the small river winds north-east for c2.5km until it enters Harperrig Reservoir. This large artificial body of water has a surface area of 94 hectares, and is shaped something like an open-mouthed flounder, with its tail to the south-west, where the Water of Leith enters, and with its jaws to the east. The reservoir was opened in 1860, and its function was to store water which could be used, especially during dry spells, to compensate for water abstracted from the springs referred to above, their effusions having been piped into the Edinburgh water supply. Reservoir water was released as needed to maintain the river flow which drove many mills in the 19th century. Somewhat perversely, its function has turned full-circle, as with the mills defunct, it now holds back water which would otherwise increase the risk of flooding in Edinburgh after heavy rain.
