9.1 INTRODUCTION
9.1.1 This chapter considers the effects on cultural heritage interests of the construction and operation of the proposed Mount Lothian Wind Farm, Midlothian. The assessment has been carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd (CFA), in accordance with the Institute for Archaeologist’s Code of Conduct (IfA 2010), and Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Desk-based Assessment (IfA 2011), using information provided by Historic Scotland (HS), and both East Lothian Council Archaeology Service (ELCAS) (on behalf of Midlothian Council) and Scottish Borders Council Archaeology Service (SBCAS).
9.1.2 The specific objectives of the cultural heritage study were to:
Identify the cultural heritage baseline within and in the vicinity of the development site;
Consider the development site in terms of its archaeological and historic environment potential;
Assess the effects of the construction and operation of the wind farm on the cultural heritage resource, within the context of relevant legislation and planning policy guidance; and
Propose measures, where appropriate, to mitigate any predicted significant adverse effects, and assess residual effects taking the mitigation into account.
9.1.3 Figure 9.1, Volume 3 shows the proposed development site, a proposed re-route of a horse-trail and the crossroad realignment at the junction of the A6094 and B6372 to the north of Herbertshaw, together with the cultural heritage sites and features identified by the study. A gazetteer of the sites and features identified is provided in Appendix 9.1, Volume 4.
9.1.4 Figure 9.2, Volume 3 shows the proposed development in its wider landscape setting with the blade tip height Zone of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV) and the location of cultural heritage assets within 10km of the proposed development and from which locations there is a predicted view of the turbines. Appendix 9.2, Volume 4 provides a list of those assets and a tabulated summary assessment of the effects on their individual settings.
9.1.5 Figure 93, Volume 3 shows the proposed development in its wider landscape setting with the blade tip height ZTV, the location of cultural heritage assets within 10km of the proposed development and cumulative wind farm schemes within a 15km radius of the proposed development.

9.1.6 Figures 9.40a-c, Volume 3 show the indicative route for the development grid connection, together with the cultural heritage sites and features identified within a 200m study corridor centred on the indicative route. A gazetteer of the sites and features identified is provided in Appendix 9.3, Volume 4. Figures 9.40a-c, Volume 3 also show those cultural heritage assets with statutory and non-statutory designations, that lie within a 1km wide study corridor centred on the indicative grid connection route. A list of these assets is provided in tabulated form in Table 9.9. It is worth noting that the exact grid connection route will be determined by the Local Distribution Network Operator, Scottish Power, and this will be subject to a separate planning application.
9.2 PLANNING AND LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND
National Planning Policy and Guidance
Scottish Historic Environment Policy
9.2.2 The Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP) sets out Scottish Ministers’ policies for the historic environment, and provides policy direction for Historic Scotland and a framework that informs the day-to-day work of a range of organisations that have a role and interest in managing Scotland’s historic environment. Through the implementation of the SHEP, Scottish Ministers wish to achieve three outcomes for Scotland’s historic environment:
1) That the historic environment is cared for, protected and enhanced for the benefit of our own and future generations;
2) To secure greater economic benefits from the historic environment; and
3) That the people of Scotland and visitors to our country value, understand and enjoy the historic environment.
Scottish Planning Policy
9.2.3 Cultural heritage resources (hereafter, heritage assets) include sites with statutory and non-statutory designations as set out in Scottish Planning Policy (SPP).
9.2.4 Assets with statutory designations include:
Scheduled Ancient Monuments;
Listed Buildings; and
Conservation Areas.
9.2.5 Assets with non-statutory designations include:
World Heritage Sites;
2 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Gardens and Designed Landscapes;
Historic Battlefields; and
Other Historic Environment Interests.
9.2.6 Those heritage assets that are relevant to the proposed development are: Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Inventory status Gardens and Designed Landscapes, Historic Battlefields, Conservation Areas, and other historic environment Interests. There are no World Heritage Sites that would be affected by the development. Designated Shipwrecks are not relevant in the context of the proposed development.
Sites with Statutory Designations
Scheduled Monuments
9.2.7 Under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 (1979 Act), the Scottish Ministers are required to compile and maintain a schedule of monuments considered to be of importance. The consent of the Scottish Ministers is required before any works are carried out which would have the effect of demolishing, destroying, damaging, removing, repairing, altering, adding to, flooding or covering up a Scheduled Monument. In addition, effects of proposed developments upon the setting of a Scheduled Monument can be a material consideration in planning terms.
Listed Buildings
9.2.8 Under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 (1997 Act), the Scottish Ministers are required to compile a list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest. Such buildings are classified into Categories A, B and C, in decreasing order of importance. Planning authorities and the Scottish Ministers are required to have special regard for the desirability of preserving Listed Buildings and their settings, and any features of special architectural or historic importance they possess.
Conservation Areas
9.2.9 Under the 1997 Act, areas of special architectural or historic interest can be designated as Conservation Areas, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. Planning Authorities are required to carefully consider planning applications affecting the appearance, character or setting of Conservation Areas.
3 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Sites with Non-Statutory Designations
Inventory Gardens and Designed Landscapes
9.2.10 The impact of a development on a designated Garden or Designed Landscape listed in ‘An Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland or its Supplements’ (Inventory; published by Historic Scotland) is a material consideration in the determination of a planning application, although the designation is non-statutory in effect. Under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) (Scotland) Order 1992 (1992 Order), planning authorities must consult Historic Scotland on any development that may affect a site contained in the Inventory. Scottish Government policy and guidance is also provided in SHEP and SPP. Non-Inventory Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes that do not merit inclusion in the Inventory are designated by the local council and are included in Local Plans.
Historic Battlefields
9.2.11 Under the provisions set out in Section 32B(1) of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979, Historic Scotland has compiled an Inventory of Historic Battlefields which it considers to be of national importance. The inventory provides information on those battlefields which are provided with statutory protection, to enable their sustainable management through the planning system. The impact of a development on a Historic Battlefield listed in The Inventory of Historic Battlefields (published by Historic Scotland) is a material consideration in the determination of a planning application. SHEP recommends that local development plans and, where appropriate, supplementary planning guidance, should set out policies and criteria that apply to the protection, conservation and management of historic battlefields.
Other Historic Environment Interests
9.2.12 There is a range of other non-designated archaeological sites, monuments and areas of historic interest, including other (non-inventory) battlefields, historic landscapes, other (non-inventory) gardens and designed landscapes, woodlands and routes such as drove roads that do not have statutory protection. Sites without statutory protection are curated by the local planning authority, and SPP and PAN 2/2011 provide national planning policy guidance and advice on the treatment of such resources.
9.2.13 SPP requires that planning authorities ensure that development plans provide a framework for the protection, conservation and enhancement of the historic
4 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
environment to allow the assessment of the impact of a development on the historic environment and its setting (paragraph 112).
Planning Advice Note 2/2011; Planning and Archaeology
9.2.14 Planning Advice Note 2/2011 (PAN 2) advises that, in determining planning applications, planning authorities should take into account the relative importance of archaeological sites (paragraph 5). It also notes that in determining planning applications that may impact on archaeological features or their setting, planning authorities may on occasion have to balance the benefits of development against the importance of archaeological features (paragraph 6). The desirability of preserving a monument (whether scheduled or not) is a material consideration and the objective should be to ensure the protection and enhancement of monuments by preservation in situ, in an appropriate setting. When preservation in situ is not possible, recording and/or excavation followed by analysis and publication of the results may be an acceptable alternative (paragraph 14).
Regional and Local Planning Policy Guidance
9.2.15 Regional and Local planning policy guidance is provided in the Strategic Development Plan for Edinburgh and South East Scotland (SESplan) (approved June 2013) (which replaces the Edinburgh and Lothians Structure Plan 2015 (2004) (ELSP)). The Midlothian Local Plan (2008) (MLP) is due to be replaced by the Midlothian Local Development Plan (MLDP). The Main Issues Report for the MLDP was published for consultation in 2013.
SESplan (approved June 2013)
9.2.16 Through the SESplan, the Strategic Development Planning Authority (SDP) for Edinburgh and South East Scotland aims to conserve and enhance the natural and built environment.
9.2.17 Under Policy 1b, ‘The Spatial Strategy: Development Principles’, the SDP states that Local Development Plans will ensure that there are no significant adverse effects on the integrity of international and national built or cultural heritage sites, in particular World Heritage Sites, Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Listed Buildings, Royal Parks and Sites listed in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes. Local Development Plans should also have a regard to the need to improve the quality of life in local communities by conserving and enhancing the natural and built environment to create more healthy and attractive places to live.
5 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Midlothian Local Plan (2008)
9.2.18 Under Policy RP22 (Conservation Areas) within or adjacent to a Conservation Area, development will not be permitted which would have any adverse effect on its character or appearance.
9.2.19 Under Policy RP24 (Listed Buildings), development will not be permitted which would adversely affect the character or appearance of a Listed Building, its setting, or any feature of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses. New development within the curtilage of a Listed Building or its setting will only be permitted where it complements its special architectural or historic character.
9.2.20 Under Policy RP25 (Nationally Important Gardens and Designed Landscapes), development will not be permitted which would harm the character, appearance or setting of a Garden or Designed Landscape which is included in the Inventory of Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes.
9.2.21 Under Policy RP26 (Scheduled Ancient Monuments (Scheduled Monuments)), development which could have an adverse effect on a Scheduled Ancient Monument, or the interpretation of its setting, will not be permitted.
9.2.22 Under Policy RP27 (Other Important Archaeological or Historic Sites), development will not be permitted where it could adversely affect an identified regionally or locally important archaeological or historic site or its setting unless the applicant can show that:
There is a public interest to be gained from the proposed development which outweighs the archaeological importance of the site;
There is no alternative location for the proposal; and
The proposal has been sited and designed to minimise damage to the archaeological interest.
9.2.23 Under Policy RP28 (Site Assessment, Evaluation and Recording), where any development proposal could affect an identified site of archaeological importance, the applicant will be required to provide an assessment of the archaeological value of the site and of the impact of the proposal on the archaeological resource.
9.2.24 Unless Midlothian Council is satisfied to the contrary, such an assessment will require a field evaluation of the site to determine:
The character and extent of the archaeological remains;
The likely impact of the proposed development on the features of archaeological interest; and
Ways in which the proposed development can be designed to preserve the archaeological interest.
6 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
9.2.25 Where the development is considered to be acceptable and it is not possible to preserve the archaeological resource in situ, the developer will be required to make arrangements for an archaeological investigation. The scope of this will be appropriate to the physical character of the site and proportionate to the importance of the information expected to be recoverable. Except for sites of minor local interest, this investigation will normally include excavation and recording prior to the start of development, followed by analysis and publication of the field data.
9.3 APPROACH TO ASSESSMENT

9 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Data Collection
9.3.4 A desk-based study and a walk-over field survey were undertaken in order to assess the cultural heritage potential of the development site.
Desk-Based Study
9.3.5 A number of information sources were consulted as part of the desk-based assessment work. These include:
Details of the locations and extents of Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Inventory status Gardens and Designed Landscapes and Conservation Areas were downloaded in GIS from the Historic Scotland Data Warehouse (Historic Scotland 2012);
The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland database (RCAHMS 2012a);
Midlothian Council Historic Environment Record (HER);
Ordnance Survey maps (principally 1st and 2nd Edition), and other published historic maps held in the Map Library of the National Library of Scotland;
Aerial photographs held by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and modern aerial satellite imagery (GoogleEarthTM; BingTM);
Published bibliographic sources, including historical descriptions of the area (including Statistical Accounts);
The Scottish Palaeoecological Database (SPAD) (Coles et al., 1998); and
The Historic Land-Use Assessment Data for Scotland (HLAmap) (RCAHMS 2012b).
9.3.6 A list of all sources consulted during the assessment is provided at the end of this chapter.
Reconnaissance Field Survey
9.3.7 A reconnaissance walk-over field survey (RCHAMS Level 1) was undertaken of the proposed development site and at the junction of the A6094 and B6372 to the north of Herbertshaw over a period of two days in May 2012. The proposed horse trail re-route was surveyed over one day in October 2012.
9.3.8 The aims of the field surveys were to:
Assess the present baseline condition of the known archaeology and heritage features identified through the desk-based assessment;
10 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Identify any further features of cultural heritage interest not detected from the desk-based assessment; and
Identify areas with the potential to contain currently unrecorded buried archaeological remains.
9.3.9 The positions of identified assets (and where appropriate, their extents) were logged using a Mobile Mapper GPS Navigator system accurate to around +/- 1- 2m. The baseline condition of identified assets was recorded on pro-forma monument recording sheets and by digital photography.
9.3.10 The weather conditions were fair and did not impede the survey. Visibility during surveys was good. Ground conditions included improved and unimproved pasture and bog, heather and rough grassland.
9.3.11 Visits to key cultural heritage assets in the wider landscape were also undertaken, in order to assess the character and heritage importance of the setting of the identified assets, and to assess the effects of the proposed development on those settings. The site visits focused on cultural heritage assets most likely to receive significant effects on their settings (i.e. those closest to the development area) and those specifically identified as requiring assessment by Historic Scotland. Factors considered to aid the assessment were:
The location and orientation of the site;
Important views of or from principal facades (of Listed Buildings);
The importance, if applicable, of designed settings; and
Any obvious views or vistas.
9.4 IMPACT ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Assessing Significance
9.4.2 The assessment of importance of archaeological and heritage assets, reflects the relative weight given to them in SHEP and SPP. Table 9.2 summarises the relative importance of key cultural heritage resources.
Table 9.2 Importance of Cultural Heritage Assets Importance Definition/Criteria National Sites of national or international importance, including: • World Heritage Sites • Scheduled Monuments, and sites proposed for scheduling • Category A Listed Buildings • Gardens and Designed Landscapes (Inventory Sites) • Historic Battlefields (Inventory sites) Regional Sites of regional importance, including: • Archaeological sites and areas of distinctive regional importance • Category B Listed Buildings
11 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
• Conservation Areas Local Sites of local importance, including: • Archaeological sites of local importance • Category C Listed Buildings • Unlisted historic buildings and townscapes with local (vernacular) characteristics Lesser Sites of little or no importance, including: • Artefact find-spots • Sites of former archaeological features • Unlisted buildings of little historic or architectural interest • Poorly preserved examples of particular types of feature
Assessment of Direct (Construction) Effects
9.4.3 Criteria for assessing magnitude of direct (physical) effects, which measures the degree of change to the baseline condition of a feature that would result from the construction of one or more elements of the proposed development, are presented in Table 9.3.
Table 9.3 Magnitude of Direct (Construction) Effects Level of Magnitude Definition/Criteria High A major effect fundamentally changing the baseline condition of the heritage asset, leading to total or major alteration of character. Medium A moderate effect changing the baseline condition of the heritage asset materially but not fundamentally, leading to partial alteration of character. Low Minor detectable effects which do not alter the baseline condition of the heritage asset materially. Imperceptible A very slight and barely distinguishable change from baseline conditions. 9.4.4 The importance of the asset and the magnitude of effect are then used to inform the professional judgment of the likely significance of the physical effect. Table 9.4 summarises the criteria for assigning significance of a direct effect.
Table 9.4 Matrix for Assessing Significance of Direct Effects Magnitude of Effect Importance of Asset ► ▼ National Regional Local Lesser High Major Major Moderate Minor Medium Major Moderate Minor Negligible Low Moderate Minor Negligible Negligible Imperceptible Minor Negligible Negligible Negligible 9.4.5 Major and moderate effects are considered to be significant in terms of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 (EIA Regulations).
Identification of External Assets and Characterisations of their Settings
9.4.6 Historic Scotland’s guidance document, Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Setting (2011), notes that: “setting should be thought of as the way in which the surroundings of a historic asset or place contribute to how it is experienced, understood and appreciated. Setting often extends beyond the
12 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
immediate property boundary of a historic structure into the broader landscape”. The guidance also suggests that if a proposed development is likely to impact on the setting of a cultural heritage asset, an objective written assessment should be prepared by the applicant to inform the decision-making process. The conclusions drawn should take into account the significance of the historic asset and its setting and attempt to quantify the extent of any detrimental impact. The methodology and level of information should be tailored to the circumstances of each case.
9.4.7 The baseline setting of each relevant asset or related group of assets is characterised on a case-by-case basis. Characterisation of setting of an asset is based upon its properties and location, and takes into account the factors identified in the guidance issued by Historic Scotland. The baseline setting of each asset is characterised principally in terms of the:
Archaeological / historical context of the asset;
Current landscape and visual surroundings of the asset;
Aesthetic and experiential properties of the asset within its surrounding; and
Social value (actual or potential) of the asset as a recreational / leisure or education resource.
Assessment of Effects on Setting
9.4.8 For each asset where a potential impact on setting has been identified, the assessment of possible effects adopts a four-stage approach:
Identification of the characteristics of the setting of the asset (see above);
Assessment of the heritage value/sensitivity of that setting;
Identification of how the presence of the proposed development will affect that setting (magnitude of impact); and
Assessment of significance of impact.
Criteria for Assessing Sensitivity of Setting
9.4.9 Sensitivity of setting was assessed by considering two factors:
The relative weight which statute and policy attach to the asset and its setting (heritage importance); and
The degree to which the baseline setting contributes to the understanding and/or appreciation, and hence value, of the asset.
9.4.10 The relative weight that statute and policy attach to the asset and its setting is determined using the importance of archaeological and heritage resources set out
13 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
in Table 9.2. The degree to which the baseline setting contributes to the understanding and/or appreciation of the asset has been assessed according to the criteria set out in Table 9.5.
Table 9.5 Contribution of Setting to Understanding and Appreciation of a Cultural Heritage Asset Contribution of Definition/Criteria Setting High A setting which makes a strong positive contribution to the understanding and/or appreciation of the siting and/or historical/archaeological/architectural context of a receptor.
E.g. a prominent topographic location; surroundings that include related monuments in close association; surroundings that are believed to be little changed from those when the receptor was created. Moderate A setting which makes some positive contribution to the understanding and/or appreciation of the siting and/or historical/archaeological/architectural context of a receptor.
E.g. surroundings that complement the siting and appearance of a receptor, such as the presence of a feature of the rural past within a more recent farming landscape containing little or no urban or industrial development. Low A setting which makes little positive contribution to the understanding and/or appreciation of the siting and/or historical/archaeological/architectural context of a receptor.
E.g. where surroundings only partially complement the siting and appearance of a receptor, such as the presence of a feature of the rural past within a partly urbanised or industrialised landscape. Negligible A setting which does not contribute positively to the understanding and/or appreciation of the siting and/or historical/archaeological/architectural context of a receptor.
E.g. immediate surroundings, such as of a commercial coniferous single species woodland or industrial development, that are not relevant to understanding the context of the receptor. 9.4.11 These two criteria (the importance of the asset and contribution to setting) are combined to assess the sensitivity of a setting, as set out in Table 9.6.

Identification of Magnitude of Impact on Setting
9.4.12 Where it has been determined that the setting of the receptor is such that there is no potential for it to be affected by the presence of the development, the receptor
14 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
has not been considered further. For the remaining sites, the magnitude of impact on setting has been assessed according to the thresholds in Table 9.7.
Table 9.7 Magnitude of Effects on Setting Level of Magnitude Definition High Fundamental material effects obviously changing the surroundings of a receptor, such that its baseline setting is substantially or totally altered. Medium Effects discernibly changing the surroundings of a receptor, such that its baseline setting is partly and materially altered. Low Slight, but detectable effects that do not alter the baseline setting of the receptor materially. Imperceptible A very slight and barely distinguishable change from baseline conditions.
Assessment of Impact Significance
9.4.13 The significance of an impact on setting depends on both the magnitude of impact and the sensitivity of the setting of the asset. Table 9.8 presents the matrix that will be used to inform the determination of the significance of effects on setting.
Table 9.8 Significance of Effect on Setting Magnitude of Impact ▼ Sensitivity of Setting ►
High Medium Low
High Major Major Minor Medium Major Moderate Minor Low Minor1 Minor Negligible Imperceptible Negligible Negligible Negligible 9.4.14 Major and moderate effects are considered to be significant in terms of the EIA Regulations.
Cumulative Assessment
9.4.15 The assessment of cumulative effects on cultural heritage is based upon consideration of the effects of the proposed development on the settings of assets with statutory and non-statutory designations within 10km of the proposed development, in addition to the likely effects of other operational, consented and proposed wind farm developments (at the time of application), (Figure 9.3, Volume 3). The assessment employed cumulative wireframes (Figures 9.22 to 39, Volume 3) and takes into account the relative scales (i.e. size and number of turbines) of the various other developments, their distances from the potentially affected assets and the potential degree of visibility of the various developments.
1 A ‘non-material’ (low magnitude) change to baseline conditions cannot by its nature lead to a significant effect. A significant effect arises from a ‘material’ (high or medium magnitude) change to baseline conditions. This distinction explains why this particular significance attribution is determined as being ‘minor’ significance and not ‘moderate’.

9.5 BASELINE CONDITIONS AND ANALYSIS OF IMPORTANCE
Cultural Heritage Resources within the Proposed Development Site
9.5.2 Fifty-nine heritage assets have been identified within the proposed development site (including at the junction of the A6094 and B6372 to the north of Herbertshaw and along the proposed horse-trail re-route). The location and extent of these assets are shown on Figure 9.1, Volume 3, and details of their character and baseline condition are provided in Appendix 9.1, Volume 4, together with a classification of the heritage importance of each.
9.5.3 Numbers in brackets in the following text, refer to site numbers depicted on Figure 9.1, Volume 3 and listed in Appendix 9.1, Volume 4.
9.5.4 There are no Scheduled Monuments or Listed Buildings within the proposed development site, and no part of the development would lie within a Garden and Designed Landscape, Historic Battlefield or a Conservation Area.
9.5.5 The HER and RCAHMS database contain records for 18 heritage assets within the proposed development site boundary and along the proposed horse trail re-route.
9.5.6 Examination of historical maps identified thirteen additional heritage features that are not recorded elsewhere, and provided further information on the evolution of land use on the proposed development site. Modern Ordnance Survey mapping identified two additional heritage features. Pre-Ordnance Survey maps (Roy, 1747-55; Laurie 1766; Knox, 1812; Thomson, 1821, and Forrester, 1850) provide little detail for the proposed development site. However, Ainslie’s ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ (1796) depicts the proposed development site in some detail, showing the location of the former Monkslothian Farm adjacent to, and closely associated, with St. Mary’s Chapel and the general layout of the farm as it was in the late 18th century.
9.5.7 Historic aerial photographs did not identify any new sites, but many of the quarry sites (recorded variously by the HER/RCAHMS and on cartographic sources), together with areas of rig and furrow cultivation surrounding areas of quarrying (4, 10 and 12), are visible on aerial photographs from 1946 through to 2001. Examination of modern satellite imagery (GoogleEarthTM; BingTM) identified an additional area of rig and furrow cultivation (58).
9.5.8 Documentary Sources (The ‘Annals of Penicuik’ (Wilson, 1891; OSA, 1791-99; and NSA 1834-45) provided general background information on the proposed development site, particularly regarding historic limestone quarrying and gravel extraction in the area. Useful background information was also provided by a report on the results of a pre-afforestation survey (O’Sullivan, 1994) that included part of the proposed development site within its study area.
16 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
9.5.9 The Scottish Palaeoecological Database (SPAD) did not provide any information on any site with palaeo-environmental potential within, or near to, the proposed development site.
9.5.10 The HLAMap records that the land in the western part of the proposed development site has remained as undeveloped moorland and rough grazing, with areas of post-medieval to recent improved and enclosed land associated with Mount Lothian Farm (3) to the east. An area of 18th to 19th century improved pasture associated with a smallholding, is shown on the southeast edge of the proposed development site corresponding to Salterford farmstead (23). An area corresponding to a shelter belt (30) is also shown as being of post-medieval origin. Three areas of 19th to 20th century quarrying are depicted, which correspond to Mount Lothian (10), Fullarton (18) and Cockmuir quarries (21).
9.5.11 The cultural heritage sites and features identified by the study are discussed thematically below.
Prehistoric Remains
9.5.12 The HER and RCAHMS contain a record of two denuded possible burnt mounds (53), recorded during a previous field survey (O’Sullivan, 1994) and located just to the southwest of the proposed development site, (but in close proximity to the proposed horse trail re-route). Field survey did not identify any visible remains of the recorded features; the area was heavily overgrown and waterlogged at the time of the survey. The possible burnt mounds are therefore assessed as being of unknown heritage importance as their baseline condition cannot be fully established at this stage.
Medieval and Later Remains
9.5.13 The majority of the sites identified within the proposed development area are associated with the medieval and later farming landscape and extractive industries.
Farmsteads
9.5.14 Mount Lothian Farm (3) is first depicted at its current location, on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854), and is shown with an associated reservoir and sluice (20). The farm retains more or less its original layout today, with some modern additions and alterations to the earlier buildings. The reservoir (20) is still visible as a silted up and reed covered depression to the west of the farm, and the broken remains of the sluice gate, together with an underground lade leading to a former threshing mill, can be seen between the farm and the reservoir. The 19th century farm has earlier origins. Pont (1630), Adair (1682; 1735), Roy (1747-55),
17 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Laurie (1766), Ainslie (1796), and Knox (1816) all annotate Mount Lothian (variously as ‘Mont Lothian’, ‘Mountlouthian’, ‘Mount Cloudy’, ‘Mount Louden’, ‘Monkslothian’ and ‘Monks Lothian’), to the east of the current farm. This earlier farm is shown adjacent to St. Mary’s Chapel (Scheduled Monument No. 6333), noted in the New Statistical Account (NSA, 1834-45, p.29) as a ‘chapelry belonging to Holyrood Abbey’, on which the monks ‘kept flocks on the pastorage (sic)’. The chapel was granted to Holyrood in 1240, remaining with the Abbey until the reformation (c.1525-1690), following which the chapel was transferred to the episcopate of Edinburgh in 1635, before the parish of Mount Lothian was annexed to Penicuik in 1638 (canmore.rcahms.gov.uk).
9.5.15 The land belonging to ‘Monkslothian Farm’, and presumably formally associated with St. Mary’s Chapel and, by extension, Holyrood Abbey, is shown on Ainslie’s map (1796). Ainslie’s map depicts the pre-improvement (pre late 18th/early 19th century) field layout, including areas of cultivated land, pasture, rough pasture and bog, together with their field and plot names. Mount Lothian farm (3) is considered to be of local importance.
9.5.16 Salterford farmstead (23) is first annotated on Knox’s map (1816) as ‘Saturford’ and later on Sharp, Greenwood and Fowler (1828) as ‘Salterford’. The farmstead is depicted in more or less its present form from the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854) onwards), where it is shown as comprising a rectangular roofed building (23a), two garden enclosures (23b) and a large sub-rectangular enclosure (23c). The latter was altered by the end of the 19th century to form a smaller enclosure (23d), as depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map (1895) and subsequent editions. An unroofed, double compartment building with a later third compartment addition on its southern end (23a) is still extant today, together with some sections of low grass covered walls forming the north-eastern corner of the 1st edition enclosure (23c), and the eastern, western and southern sides of that shown on later map editions (23d). The garden enclosures now contain woodland plantation surrounded by a fence, but turf covered walls can still be seen in places. Salterford Farm (23) is considered to be of local importance.
Buildings/Structures
9.5.17 Several buildings (1, 2, 13, 16, 17, 15, 22, and 54) are depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854). Two of these (1 and 2) are former toll booths also annotated on Forrester’s map (1850), and were extant until at least the turn of the century. Neither is visible today. The former toll booths are considered to be of lesser importance.
9.5.18 Hillhead (13), a former building and enclosure, today comprises the footings of a rectangular structure divided into six small compartments of roughly equal size
18 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
and low banks forming the enclosure. The building is annotated as a sheepfold on the Ordnance Survey 4th Edition map (1957) and is shown with some alterations, which could account for the small internal divisions. The building may have originally formed cottages for workers associated with the quarry (12) immediately to the north, although no buildings are shown associated with the quarry on Ainslie’s map (1796), and conversely, the quarry is not depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854) at the time the building is shown as roofed, the area being shown as woodland. Hillhead (13) is considered to be of local importance.
9.5.19 Two cottages attached to small enclosures (15 and 22) are both still extant and visible as upstanding, roughly dressed mortared red sandstone structures. Both are unroofed, the former (15a) from at least the time of the 3rd Edition map (1909); the latter (22) from some time between the Ordnance Survey 3rd (1909) and 2002 Edition maps. Remnants of the enclosure and a small ancillary structure (15b) associated with site 15 are also visible. Both buildings are likely to be of early to mid-19th century date and are considered to be of local importance.
9.5.20 Roy (1747-55) depicts a farmstead annotated ‘Wr of Mount Cloudy’ (Wester Mount Cloudy). The farmstead depicted lies in roughly the same location as a U- shaped building (16) annotated as ‘Upper Tower’ to the west of ‘Monkslothian Farm’ on Ainslie’s map, and which now lies slightly to the northwest of the present Mount Lothian Farm (3). The building is depicted on Knox’s map (1816), annotated as ‘Upper Farm’, and then subsequently on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854). The building was unroofed by the end of the 19th century and there are now no visible remains of the farmstead; the area is within improved pasture. Should sub-surface remains of the building survive, they would be considered to be of local importance.
9.5.21 Two rectangular buildings, annotated ‘Smithy’ (17), are shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854). The eastern building, a row of cottages, is still occupied today; a more recent cottage occupies the location of the other building shown on the Ordnance Survey map (1854). The cottages are considered to be of local importance.
9.5.22 A small unroofed rectangular structure (54) is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854) and annotated ‘Ruin’. It is not depicted on later Editions of the Ordnance Survey map, but field survey recorded a grassed-over sub-rectangular cut into the slope at the recorded location of the building, together with a low bank surrounding. It is possible that this feature is a small quarry which disturbed the earlier building depicted on the Ordnance Survey mapping. A small area of denuded rig and furrow cultivation measuring no more than 0.2m
19 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
high was as identified, to the north of the former building. The former building and rig and furrow are considered to be of lesser heritage importance.
9.5.23 The remains of a possible former building (59) was identified during field survey, comprising of a rectangular drystone walled structure that had been built into a rectangular cut in the ground adjacent to a farmer’s track. The structure had been truncated by a drain/burn on its western side. The structure is considered to be of local heritage importance.
Sheepfolds and Enclosures
9.5.24 Four sheep folds or ‘stells’ (6, 24, 25 and 52) have been recorded from historic map sources. Circular features annotated as either ‘sheep stell’ or ‘old stell’ are shown on Ainslie’s map (1796). Only one of these is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (6), and is depicted as an octagonal structure with an attached enclosure. It is still visible today in fair condition, although both the sheepfold and the enclosure are quite tumbled in places. The other stells are not visible as upstanding structures and their locations now lie within improved pasture.
9.5.25 The surviving sheepfold (6) is considered to be of local importance; the others (24, 25 and 52) are considered to be of lesser importance.
9.5.26 A fifth sheepfold (60) is still upstanding today, L-shaped in plan with two attached enclosures. A sheepfold is first depicted at this location on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854), shown as a circular structure, which is later replaced by a roofed U-shaped structure and enclosure on the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map (1895). The sheepfold is first depicted in its current layout on the Ordnance Survey 3rd Edition map (1909), which follows the same footprint as the earlier U-shaped structure and enclosure. The sheepfold is considered to be of local heritage importance.
9.5.27 Two enclosures (33 and 34) were identified during the field survey, preserved as denuded circular turf banks located on low terraces. Their form and size is suggestive of stock enclosures/sheepfolds. Neither is depicted on historic mapping. They are poorly preserved structures, and are considered to be of lesser importance. The NMRS and HER record that a sheep shelter (8) is visible on aerial photographs. Field survey identified a cross-shaped turf bank conforming to the shape and location of a similar feature visible on the associated aerial photographs within the remains of a former woodland plantation (30). The possible sheep shelter is considered to be of lesser importance.
Banks, Rig and Furrow, Clearance Cairns
9.5.28 The proposed development site falls entirely within the land of the former ‘Monkslothian Farm’ depicted on Ainslie’s plan (1796). Remnants of the pre-
20 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
improvement farming landscape depicted have been recorded within the development boundary, largely as areas of rig and furrow cultivation. The rig and furrow has been largely recorded from historic aerial photographs held in the RCAHMS archive but very little now survives, as much of the ground is now improved pasture grassland. A small remnant of denuded rig was identified in the field, forming the north-eastern and south-eastern extent of the recorded area of site (14), and a small area of rig was recorded adjacent to a denuded section of field bank (28).
9.5.29 Given the lack of preservation and poor condition of the surviving remains, this rig and furrow is considered to be of lesser importance.
9.5.30 Two other large areas of rig and furrow cultivation (56 and 58) have been recorded along the proposed horse trail re-route (Figure 9.1, Volume 3). One area (56) is recorded in the HER and RCHAMS database as being associated with a sheepfold and former quarry depicted on the current Ordnance Survey map (2001). Fragmentary denuded remains of this rig and furrow still survive, together with a section of denuded bank at the southwest extent of the area recorded in the HER. The second area (58) is visible on modern satellite imagery (GoogleEarthTM; BingTM) and survives as denuded straight rig present within areas of slightly improved/drier ground along the upper banks of the Fullarton Water. The surviving extent of this rig and furrow is depicted on Figure 9.1, Volume 3.
9.5.31 Both areas of rig and furrow are considered to be of local heritage importance.
9.5.32 An enclosed woodland shelterbelt plantation (30), within which several former quarries are located (5b-d, and 12a and c), is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854). The plantation is not shown on Ainslie’s Plan of Mountlothian (1796) and so is likely to be of early 19th century date. The plantation boundary bank survives today as a well-preserved stony turf-covered bank, replaced by a more recent drystone wall in places. A small section of the central western side of the boundary has been removed through recent ploughing activity, and a post and wire fence now cuts across its alignment at this location. The remains of the plantation boundary are considered to be of local importance.
9.5.33 Three small isolated and fragmentary sections of curvilinear field bank (28, 38 and 48) survive along the edges of areas of improved pasture. The banks are likely to relate to the pre-19th century farming landscape depicted on Ainslie’s map (1796). One section of bank (28) borders a small area of surviving rig and furrow cultivation. The banks are poorly preserved and are considered to be of lesser importance.
9.5.34 Twelve clearance cairns/stone dumps (35-37, 39-41, 43-47, and 49) were identified during the field survey. These were all located within areas of rough pasture,
21 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
bordering or within, improved pasture fields. The cairns were all formed from relatively recent stone dumping, being composed of largely clean, un-vegetated angular stones. Four of the cairns (37, 39, 40 and 47) show evidence of earlier phases of clearance in the form of smaller, turf-covered cobbles underneath, and evidence of more recent dumping around the edges. These clearance cairns are considered to be of local importance as they may have elements which relate to the former pre-19th century farming landscape. The remaining cairns (35, 36, 41, 43-46 and 49) are considered to be of lesser importance.
Quarries
9.5.35 Ainslie’s map (1796) depicts three quarries (4b and 4c and 12), the former two being shown as quarries ‘in past’, suggesting they were already out of use by the end of the 18th century. None of these quarries is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854), although two (4b and 4c) are depicted as ‘old gravel pit’, together with a third (4a), on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1909) Edition maps. Eight quarries are depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (5a, 9, 10, 18, 19, 21, 55, and 61a), and are either annotated as ‘lime quarries’, ‘gravel pits’ or ‘Old Quarry’. Notable are Mount Lothian Quarry (10) and Fullarton Quarry (18), both large quarries associated with lime kilns. These are still preserved as prominent and extensive quarries in the landscape today, and the limekilns and an associated cottage depicted at Fullarton Quarry (18) on the 1st Edition map (1854) are still largely intact.
9.5.36 One quarry (7), annotated ‘old gravel pit’, is shown from the 2nd Edition (1895) map onwards, together with one other possible gravel pit (61b); another (4e) is first depicted on the Ordnance Survey 4th Edition (1957) map as ‘old gravel pit’, and another (31) is shown but not annotated, on the current Ordnance Survey map (2002).
9.5.37 Ten quarries (4d, 5b-d, 26, 27, 29, 42, 57 and 61c) are not shown on any map but were identified during the field survey and from modern satellite imagery (GoogleTM). Most of these are quite small in size, and may be of recent origin, or, they were so small as not to merit historic mapping.
9.5.38 The Annals of Penicuik (Wilson, 1891) state that ‘limestone was quarried and burnt for a considerable period at the kilns of Fullerton (18) and Mount Lothian (10)’, but that this activity ceased following competition from more suitably located quarries along the main transport links. Extensive beds of gravels and sands were also exploited by local contractors. The lime was used for mortar, in the iron industry and in agriculture as fertiliser and manure, which aided in ‘reclaiming moorland’ (NSA, 1834-45, p.31). The NSA also states that the landlord allowed the ‘tenants of Penicuik property’ to ‘drive lime’ for their own purposes (NSA,
22 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
1834-45, p.43), suggesting that at least some of the limestone quarrying was for local use. It is possible that some of the smaller quarries recorded were also for local use.
9.5.39 The documentary sources, together with historic map evidence, suggest that the land within the proposed development site was being used for quarrying from at least the late 18th century, and that at least some of this quarrying went hand-in- hand with the wider socio-economic processes of land reclamation and improvement. The quarries constitute a large part of the historic landscape character of the proposed development site and are generally well preserved. They are thus considered to be of local importance. However, one gravel pit (19) is a poorly preserved example and another quarry (31) is likely to be of recent origin. These two sites are considered to be of lesser importance.
Footpaths/Trackways
9.5.40 Several footpaths (51) are shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854) crossing the southern and central part of the proposed development site. One large section links a gravel pit (9) with Hillhead (13) and the public road and Cockmuir Bridge. A second links Mount Lothian Quarry (10) with the public road. Only fragmentary remains survive of these pathways. Two small sections are preserved as slight holloways to the south and west of Hillhead (13), and a longer, T-shaped section lies to the south of Mount Lothian Quarry (10). This latter section is better preserved, visible as a slightly raised bank, and is still used as a cattle track where it traverses an area of rough pasture.
9.5.41 A fourth section of path or trackway (32), not depicted on historic mapping, is visible as a raised linear bank with slight ditches on either side. The trackway traverses an area of boggy ground, potentially leading to two enclosures (33 and 34).
9.5.42 All the pathways/trackways are considered to be of lesser importance.
Miscellaneous
9.5.43 The current Ordnance Survey map (2002) depicts five grouse butts (50) on a WNW to ESE alignment. Little now survives of these features other than two slightly raised areas of ground forming possible platforms at two of the locations of the former grouse butts. The grouse butts are considered to be of lesser importance.
9.5.44 The RCAHMS database and HER record the find-spot of the fragmentary remains of a Neolithic axe head (11). The location of the find is considered to be of lesser importance, although it is indicative of early prehistoric activity in the local landscape.
23 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Historic Landscape Character
9.5.45 The HLA map indicates that much of the surrounding landscape is similar to that of the proposed development site, comprised of a patchwork of moorland and rough grazing, 19th to 20th century unenclosed and enclosed improved pasture, and woodland and forestry plantation. Small pockets of medieval/post-medieval settlement and agriculture are shown near the south-eastern boundary of the development site.
9.5.46 Numerous farmsteads are recorded in the RCAHMS database and HER, such as those at Spurlens, Ferniehole, Mosshouses and Herbertshaw (NT25SE 20; 4030108- 9; NT25NW 36.00-02; NT25NE 21) to the west and southwest of the proposed development site, and Fullarton and Cauldhall farmhouses (NT25NE 22; NT25NE 17-17.1) to the north and northeast, together with areas of rig and furrow cultivation. These also appear on historic maps as far back as Pont (1630) and Adair (1682), attesting to an established farming landscape from at least the early post-medieval period. Two well-preserved lime kilns (NT25NE 23 and 24), at Upperside to the south-east of the proposed development site, attest to the presence of mineral extractive industry in the post-medieval period.
9.5.47 The wider landscape does contain a prehistoric element; largely in the form of artefact find-spots and field walking finds of chipped stone implements such as scrapers and microliths. The Peeblesshire Archaeology Society has found numerous flint scrapers and other tools in the Eddlestone Parish to the west of the proposed development site (for example NT25NE 25). The society has also recorded a possible burnt mound at Fountainside (NT25NE 6) to the east, together with a possible hut circle and enclosures at the Stell Plantation (NT25SE18). The record of a collared urn containing a cremation and bronze material at Toxside Quarry (NT25SE 3), and a cairn containing a cist (NT25NW 20) at Spurlens to the south west of the proposed development, provide some limited evidence for prehistoric burial activity in the wider landscape. Evidence indicates settlement from the late Neolithic and Bronze Age.
9.5.48 Although much of the area is largely that of a well preserved post-improvement (late 18th to 19th century) farming landscape, the limited evidence for prehistoric activity, together with the presence of the 13th century St. Mary’s Chapel (Index No. 6333), suggest that the area does retain some elements of a historic landscape character with considerable time-depth.
Archaeological Potential within the Development Site
9.5.49 The proposed development site lies in farmland forming part of Mount Lothian Farm. The land is largely enclosed and improved pasture, with rough moorland along the western site boundary, and patches of unimproved pasture along the
24 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
southern and eastern boundaries. The landform rises from 255m AOD (Above Ordnance Datum) along the Loch Burn in the southeast corner of the site, to 280m AOD to the south of Mount Lothian Quarry (10) and in the northwest corner of the site.
9.5.50 Historically, the land has been used agriculturally, for grazing and arable farming, and industrially, for gravel and lime quarrying, and retains some aspects of this landscape character today. The surviving remains of the quarries form an intrinsic element to the historic landscape character of the proposed development site, and provide well-preserved physical remains of the wider socio-economic processes occurring in the area during the late 18th and 19th centuries.
9.5.51 Evidence from historic map sources, notably Ainslie’s map (1796), suggests that prior to the 19th century, the proposed development site was farmland forming part of the land holdings of ‘Monkslothian Farm’, the predecessor to the present Mount Lothian Farm (3). The lands at this time belonged to Monkslothian Farm and appear to have been associated with St. Mary’s Chapel (Index No. 6333), which historically had links with Holyrood Abbey. Together with historic map evidence (Pont, 1630; Adair, 1682), this suggests a considerable historical dimension to the agricultural practices and land-use, notably pastoral activity, within the proposed development site.
9.5.52 Although the area has seen little intrusive development, much of this pre- improvement landscape now no longer survives, largely due to later land improvement processes. Fragmentary remains are still visible however, identifiable as a sheep fold (6); two possible enclosures (33 and 34); small areas of rig and furrow cultivation (part of 14 and 28); a few fragmentary field banks (28, 38, and 48), and three quarries (4b-c and 12). Other than the quarries, these sites lie within areas of rough grazing bordering more improved pasture fields.
9.5.53 There are no records of prehistoric activity, other than the find-spot of a fragmented Neolithic axehead (11), within the proposed development site, but the wider landscape contains some limited evidence of both prehistoric settlement and burial activity. Much of the western part of the development site is a bog (Mount Lothian Moss). However, prehistoric archaeological sites can be found buried beneath later peat deposits which, if undisturbed, can also provide evidence of vegetation history and provide a palaeoenvironmental record.
9.5.54 Taking into account the present historic environment record, both on the site itself and in the immediate landscape surrounding it, and the largely agricultural use of the landscape both historically and today, the potential for the proposed development site to contain buried remains of archaeological importance is assessed as being moderate to low. Given the limited land-take required by the
25 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
proposed development, the potential of encountering features of archaeological importance during construction is judged to be low.
9.5.55 Although the quarries identified in the proposed development site are intrinsic to the historical character of the area, there is no potential for finding hitherto unknown buried sites within the recorded extent of the quarried areas.
Cultural Heritage Resources within a 200m Study Corridor Centred on the Indicative Grid Connection Route
9.5.56 Within the proposed development site itself, where the indicative grid connection would be installed as an underground cable, two quarries (4e and 4d), a pond and sluice (20), a trackway (51) and a recorded area of rig and furrow cultivation, lie within the 200m wide study corridor (Figure 9.40a, Volume 3). Details of these sites can be found in Appendix 9.1, Volume 4, and are discussed above in relation to baseline conditions within the proposed development site.
9.5.57 Out with the proposed development site, an additional 32 assets have been identified within the 200m wide corridor centred on the indicative grid connection route. The locations and extents of these are shown on Figures 9.40a-c, Volume 3, and details of their character and baseline condition are provided in Appendix 9.3, Volume 4, together with a classification of the heritage importance of each.
9.5.58 There are two listed buildings within the 200m study corridor (70; 7476 and 90; 13036). There are no Scheduled Monuments within the 200m study corridor, and no part of the 200m study corridor would lie within a Garden and Designed Landscape, Historic Battlefield or a Conservation Area.
9.5.59 The HER and the RCAHMS database contain records for seven heritage assets, and examination of historical maps identified a further 22 assets.
9.5.60 Examination of historic aerial photographs did not identify any new sites, but provided further information on assets already identified through historic mapping. Three large of areas of modern quarrying or disturbed ground, visible partly within the 200m wide study corridor, were identified from examination of aerial photographs from 1946 to 1975. These are shown for reference on Figures 9.40a-c, Volume 3.
9.5.61 These heritage assets, all associated with the medieval and later farming landscape and extractive industries, are discussed thematically below.
26 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Medieval and Later Remains
Burial Ground
9.5.62 Pentland Burial Ground (90; 1303) is a Category B Listed Building, comprising a late 17th to early 18th century enclosure, with a now roofless 18th century watch house adjacent to entrance gates, and containing a burial vault to ‘Gibsone of Pentland’. The burial ground itself stands on the location of a former church, located and partly excavated during recent archaeological fieldwork (Connelly, 2009; 2010). Excavation found evidence for medieval activity on the site from the 12th century onwards. Pentland Burial Gground is considered to be of regional heritage importance.
Villages
9.5.63 Old Pentland Village (88) is first depicted in detail on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet 12, 1854), but ‘Pentland’ is annotated on earlier historic mapping sources, from the early 17th century onwards: Pont (1630), Adair (1682/1735), Roy (1747-55), Laurie (1766) and Thomson (1821). The village is still extant today, shown on modern Ordnance Survey mapping data (2002) following a similar overall layout as that depicted on historic Ordnance Survey mapping, although with the addition of more recent buildings. Old Pentland Village is considered to be of local heritage importance.
Farmsteads
9.5.64 Four farmsteads, Loanstone, Auchendinny Mains, Moat and Pentland Mains (66, 68, 74 and 86) are all first shown in detail on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet 12, 1854), but have antecedents annotated on earlier historic mapping sources from the mid 18th century to early 19th century: Roy (1747-55), Laurie (1766) and Thomson (1821). Other than Moat (74), these farmsteads are still depicted on modern Ordnance Survey mapping (2002); at the same locations, and with similar layouts, as those shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854). Moat is not shown on Ordnance Survey maps from 1979 onwards (NTS6SE), and is not visible on aerial photographs from 1975. The three surviving farmsteads (66, 68 and 86) are considered to be of local heritage importance; Moat (74) is considered to be of lesser heritage importance.
Buildings
9.5.65 A collection of four buildings (69), annotated ‘Thrashing Mill’ is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet 12, 1854), together with ponds and associated lades. The main pond appears to have fallen out of use by

the mid 19th century, but various buildings continue to be shown on Ordnance Survey mapping sources, annotated variously as ‘Kennels’ (Edinburgshire, sheet XIII.NE, 1908; sheet NT26SE, 1957) ‘Firth Home Farm’ (sheet NT26SE, 1975) and ‘North House’ (sheet NT26SE, 1988). Five buildings are shown today (2002). The thrashing mill (69) is considered to be of local heritage importance.
9.5.66 Nine other buildings (64, 65, 71, 75, 77, 78, 84, 82 and 85) are also depicted on historic mapping sources. All but two of these (65 and 78) are first shown in detail on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet 12, 1854), and one (84), is annotated on pre-Ordnance Survey mapping (Thomson, 1821). Five of the farmsteads (64, 65, 71, 77, and 84) continue to have buildings shown at the originally depicted locations, and they are still shown on current Ordnance Survey mapping data (2002). These buildings are considered to be of local heritage importance. The remaining buildings (75, 78, 82 and 85) are no longer extant; two of these (75 and 85) are shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition only. These four recorded former buildings are considered to be of lesser heritage importance.
Extractive and Industrial Sites
9.5.67 Roslin Colliery and Brickworks (73), comprising a spoil tip and a section of tram or railtrack (73a), are first depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet VII.SE, 1895), linked to the ‘Edinburgh, Loanhead & Roslin Branch’ railway line (73b). Roslin Colliery, the railtrack and the branchline railway are annotated and depicted on subsequent Ordnance Survey Editions (Edinburghshire, sheet VII.SE, 1908 and 1915; and NT26SE 1957, 1979 and 1988), the Colliery reaching its largest extent by the time of the 1957 Edition. The tip is annotated as ‘disused’ from the 1979 Edition onwards and the railway as ‘dismantled’ from the 1988 Edition onwards. The outline of the former Colliery, the railtrack, and sections of the connecting branchline railway are still shown on modern Ordnance Survey data (2002). The Colliery, and associated infrastructure, is considered to be of local heritage importance.
9.5.68 The Pentland Oil Works (91) is shown as a complex of buildings, ponds and a tip on the Ordnance Survey 2nd, 3rd and 4th Edition maps (Edinburghshire, sheet VII.SE, 1895; 1908; 1915). The HER records the Works as being run by the Clippens Oil Company between 1881 and 1897, where the Oil Works formed part of the Straiton Number 7 Shale Oil mine to the Dunnet Seam (Kerr, 1996). Subsequent Ordnance Survey Editions (sheet NT26NE 1958; 1974; 1983; 1992) suggest that the former Oil Works expanded slightly, and became utilised for pre- cast concrete production from the mid to late 20th century. The outline of the former Works is still shown on modern Ordnance Survey mapping data (2002)
28 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
and is annotated as ‘Tip-disused’. The Oil Works is considered to be of local heritage importance.
9.5.69 A single shaft (81) and a group of shafts (87) are depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet VII.SE 1895), the former also on the 3rd Edition map (1908), but they are not depicted on subsequent Editions. Possible crops marks, at the location of the group of shafts (87), are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The shafts are considered to be of lesser heritage importance.
9.5.70 Several small quarries have been identified from historic Ordnance Survey mapping. Three gravel pits (62 and 63) are depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghhire, sheet 12, 1854) and are shown collectively as ‘Old Gravel Pit’ on the Ordnance Survey 3rd Edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet XIII.SE, 1908). A sand pit (76) and a quarry (79) are shown on the Ordnance Survey 2nd and 3rd Edition maps (Edinburghshire, sheet VII.SE 1908; 1915). The latter (79) is not depicted on subsequent Editions, and the location of the former (76) is visible within a larger area of modern quarrying visible on aerial photographs of 1946. All five quarries are considered to be of lesser heritage importance.
Miscellaneous
9.5.71 Old Woodhouselee Railway Viaduct (70), a Category B Listed building (Ref 7464), formerly carried the Penicuik branch of the North British Railway over the River North Esk; although it ceased to operate commercially in the mid 20th century. The viaduct now forms part of a walk-and-cycle path and is of regional heritage importance.
9.5.72 Dryden House Viaduct (80) carries the drive to the former Dryden House over the Bilston Burn and the Edinburgh and District Water Trust aqueduct (83). The viaduct is still extant today, and is considered to be of local heritage importance.
9.5.73 A water pipeline (83) is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet 12, 1854), the course of which is still shown on modern Ordnance Survey mapping (2002). The pipeline served the Loanhead, Niven’s Knowe, Edinburgh and District Water Trust and is considered to be of local heritage importance.
9.5.74 A pond (67) is visible on the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map, and is still depicted as being in use on Ordnance Survey maps until the mid 20th century. The outline of the pond is visible on aerial photographs from 1975 and on satellite imagery (GoogleTM). The pond is considered to be of lesser heritage importance.
29 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
9.5.75 A pumping engine (92) and reservoir (93) are shown on the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet VII.NE 1895), and on subsequent Editions until 1958 (sheet NT26 NE). The pumping engine and reservoir are considered to be of lesser heritage importance.
9.5.76 An archaeological evaluation (White, 2005) in advance of development revealed evidence of broad rig and furrow cultivation, which may date to the medieval period. The rig is considered to be of lesser heritage importance.
External Receptors within 500m of the Indicative Grid Connection Route
9.5.77 Eleven external receptors have been identified within 500m either side of the indicative grid connection route. These include one scheduled monument, five Category B Listed Buildings, two Category C Listed Buildings, one Inventory Battlefield and two Conservation Areas. A tabulated list of the identified assets is provided in Table 9.9, and their locations are shown on Figures 9.40a-c, Volume 3.

9.6 EFFECTS
Direct (Construction) Effects
9.6.2 Any ground breaking activities associated with the construction of the proposed development (such as those required for turbine bases and crane hardstandings, access tracks, cable routes, compounds, etc.) have the potential to disturb or destroy features of cultural heritage interest in the absence of appropriate mitigation. Other construction activities, such as vehicle movements, soil and overburden storage and landscaping also have the potential to cause direct permanent and irreversible effects on the cultural heritage in the absence of mitigation.
9.6.3 Using the criteria detailed in Tables 9.2 and 9.3, and taking account of the layout shown on Figure 9.1, Volume 3, Appendix 9.1, Volume 4 summarises the predicted direct effects on the assets identified by the study within the development site boundary.
9.6.4 Four sites (19, 20, 30 and 51) are predicted to receive direct effects of no more than minor significance. None of these effects would be significant in EIA terms.
Wind Farm Development Area
9.6.5 Construction work on the wind farm site (turbine bases and crane hardstandings, and associated infrastructure), together with the proposed underground section of grid connection, would result in direct effects on four sites of local heritage importance, namely , a former reservoir (20), a former, historic woodland plantation bank (30), and two surviving sections of former trackway (51); and one feature of lesser importance, namely a small gravel pit (19). Potential direct effects of unknown (but no more than minor) significance have been predicted for one site, namely a former historic field system of rig and furrow cultivation (10).
Site 10
9.6.6 The rig and furrow (10), which no longer survives as upstanding remains, but which might have a buried component retaining some evidence of the former field pattern, is of pre-19th century date and any surviving evidence of the former field pattern are considered to be potentially of local heritage importance. Construction of two turbines (T6 and T8), the proposed access track, and erection of the permanent wind monitoring mast, would result in a direct effect on any surviving buried remains of the former field system.
9.6.7 Magnitude of impact: construction of the two turbines (T6 and T8), the proposed access track, and erection of the permanent wind monitoring mast may result in the partial loss of any sub-surface remains of the rig and furrow and associated
31 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
field pattern that may survive. If sub-surface remains survive; the direct effect on the character of the field system remains would be of no more than medium magnitude.
9.6.8 Significance of effect: the resulting direct effect on any surviving rig and furrow would be of no more than minor significance.
Site 19
9.6.9 Creation of the proposed borrow pit would result in a direct effect on a former small gravel quarry (19). The quarry is of 19th century date and is of lesser heritage importance.
9.6.10 Magnitude of effect: the former quarry would likely be lost during working of the borrow pit. The direct effect will be of high magnitude.
Significance of effect: the effect on the former quarry would be of minor significance.
Site 20
9.6.11 Construction of the proposed development access track and underground grid connection would result in a direct effect on the westernmost end of a former reservoir (20), which survives as a largely reed-covered and in-filled feature. The reservoir is of at least 19th century date and is considered to be of local heritage importance.
9.6.12 Magnitude of effect: only a small section of the now in-filled former reservoir would be affected by the proposed access track and underground grid connection. The direct effect will be of low magnitude.
9.6.13 Significance of effect: the effect on the remains of the reservoir would be of negligible significance.
Site 30
9.6.14 Construction of the crane hard-standing for Turbine 9 would result in a direct effect on two sections of a plantation bank (30). The bank is of 19th century date and is considered to be of local heritage importance.
9.6.15 Magnitude of effect: only one section of the bank would be affected by this element of the proposed development. The direct effect will be of low magnitude.
9.6.16 Significance of effect: the effect on the plantation bank would be of negligible significance.
32 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Site 51
9.6.17 Construction of the proposed development access track and underground grid connection would result in a direct effect on a former footpath (51) at two locations: one intersect would be to the south of Mount Lothian Quarry (10), where the track survives as a slightly raised bank 2m to 2.5m wide by 0.2m high, and the other to the west of a former reservoir (20) where the track survives as a grassy holloway 2.5m wide and is now in use as a farm access track. The footpath is of at least 19th century date and is considered to be of local heritage importance.
9.6.18 Magnitude of effect: only small sections of the former footpath would be affected by the proposed access track and underground grid connection. The direct effect will be of low magnitude.
9.6.19 Significance of effect: the effect on the remains of the footpath would be of negligible significance.
Junction of the A6094 and B6372 to the North of Herbertshaw
9.6.20 Construction work associated with the proposed highway modifications at the junction of the A6094 and B6372 to the north of Herbertshaw would have no effect on any identified heritage asset. Fallhills Turnpike Tollbooth (1) no longer survives and the road modifications would not in any case affect the recorded location which lies to the north side of the junction, adjacent to the present coniferous woodland shelterbelt.
Horse Trail Re-route
9.6.21 Provision of the proposed re-routed horse trail would result in a direct effect on one site identified by the study: the abandoned remains of an old farmstead (23). The burnt mounds (53), other buildings and structures (54, 59 and 60), quarries (55, 57 and 61) and remains of rig and furrow cultivation (56 and 58) would all be avoided by the horse trail.
Site 23
9.6.22 Establishment of the re-routed horse trail could result in a direct effect on any surviving buried remains of a section of a garden enclosure (23b) and a farmstead enclosure (23c) associated with the former Salterford Farm (23). The farmstead is of at least 19th century date and is considered to be of local heritage importance; although the former enclosures are of lesser importance.
9.6.23 Magnitude of effect: construction of the horse-trail re-route may result in the partial loss of any sub-surface remains of the enclosures that might survive. If
33 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
sub-surface remains do survive, the direct effect would be of no more than low magnitude as only two small sections would be affected.
9.6.24 Significance of effect: the direct effect on any surviving sub-surface remains of any of the enclosures would be of no more than negligible significance.
Grid Connection
9.6.25 At present, the final route of the proposed grid connection has not been determined. However, based on the indicative alignment (shown on Figures 9.40a- c, Volume 3), the majority of assets identified within the 200m wide study corridor would lie away from the grid connection, and would be avoided. Two assets (20 and 51) would be crossed by the underground section of the grid connection, and so would undergo direct effects as a result of the cable trench excavation. Appendix 9.1, Volume 4 presents a tabulated assessment of the direct effects on these two assets, and they are discussed above within the ‘Wind Farm Development Area’ section.
9.6.26 A further ten assets (69, 71, 73, 74, 80, 83, 84, 87, 90 and 92) would be crossed by the indicative route of the overhead grid connection, and could potentially be subject to direct effects. One asset (90) is assessed as being of regional importance, five (71, 73, 80, 83 and 84) are of local importance, and four (69, 74, 87 and 92) are of lesser importance). Direct effects on each of these assets can be avoided through design micro-siting of support poles and the preservation in situ of those of regional or local importance accommodated.
Indirect (Operational) Effects
9.6.27 Appendix 9.2, Volume 4 provides a tabulated summary assessment on a site-by-site basis of the predicted effects on the settings of assets within a 10km radius where the blade tip ZTV indicates that there will be theoretical views of one or more turbines. The locations of these assets are shown on Figure 9.2, Volume 3. Appendix 9.2, Volume 4 covers assets up to 10km from the proposed development, with the exception of Category C Listed Buildings, which have localised geographical settings that would not be adversely affected by the proposed development, and which are therefore only considered up to 5km away.
9.6.28 The assessment of magnitude of effect has been based on comparative analysis of blade tip and hub height ZTVs, taking into account the distance of the assessed asset from the proposed development, the number of blade tips and hubs theoretically visible and the present baseline setting of each asset. The ZTV model is, however, based on bare-earth surface topography and maximum blade-tip heights. It takes no account of obstructions to intervisibility caused by existing forestry and other vegetation or buildings and other man-made features.
34 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Therefore, professional judgment has been used to assess the significance of effects informed by the ZTV.
9.6.29 Only those assets requested by HS, Midlothian Council (ELCAS) and SBCAS to be specifically assessed (Table 9.1), and those that are judged to have the most sensitive settings, have been assessed using photomontage and wireframe visualisations (Figures 9.4 to 9.18, Volume 3) and are discussed in detail in the following text. A list of those cultural heritage assets for which visualisations have been provided is given below (Table 9.10).
9.6.30 Three assets (Traprain Law, Soutra Aisle and Arthur’s Seat) have been identified by ELCAS as having potentially sensitive settings (see Table 9.1 and Figures 9.19 to 9.21, Volume 3). However, these sites each lie well beyond 10km of the proposed development and have therefore not been included in the ZTV (Figure 9.2, Volume 3) or in Appendix 9.2, Volume 4 as they all lie outside the agreed 10km assessment radius. However, views of the development from each of these assets are presented as wireframes and cumulative wireframes (see Table 9.) and they are discussed in the chapter text below.

36 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Listed Buildings, 7 Inventory Garden and Designed Landscapes, 8 Conservation Areas, and 1 Inventory Battlefield (Appendix 9.2, Volume 4).
9.6.32 There is one predicted significant effect: on the setting of St. Mary’s Chapel (6333).
St Mary's Chapel, Chapel 250m ENE of Mount Lothian (6333)
9.6.33 The poorly preserved remains of St. Mary’s, a 13th century chapel, historically with links to Holyrood Abbey, are located within an improved pasture field on the tree-covered summit of a low knoll overlooking a wider rural landscape to the south, which historically, was associated with the chapel used for sheep pasturage during the medieval period. There are fairly good views out southwards from the chapel, although screening is provided to north from localised topography, and to south and southwest from mature conifer planting. The chapel may have had some intervisibility with Moorfoot Chapel (5976) just over 5km to the SSW, located within the low-lying ground of the valley floor. St Mary’s chapel is not a prominent feature of the local landscape however, and has a fairly localised rural setting, retaining much of its value largely through its historical properties and archaeological potential.
9.6.34 St. Mary’s Chapel lies approximately 1km to the northeast of the proposed development, and the photomontage view (Figure 9.4, Volume 3) shows that all nine turbines would be visible in southward views from the monument; partly screened by a mature conifer shelterbelt. Views towards the chapel from the B6372, back-dropped by the ridgeline to the north, would be unaffected. While the development would be visible from the chapel, it would not be overly visually dominant from the monument and it would remain possible to read the landscape and the Chapel’s relationship with the surrounding, associated farmland. The localised rural setting of the chapel would remain largely intact, and there would be no significant effect on the ability to appreciate or understand the historical properties and the archaeological potential of the site.
9.6.35 The effect of the proposed development on the setting of St. Mary’s Chapel is therefore assessed to be of low-medium magnitude and of moderate significance. The development would present a discernible change to the baseline setting of the monument, but would at least partially materially alter this setting. However, the effect would be temporary; lasting only for the operational period of the wind farm and would be removed following decommissioning.
Roseberry Home Farm and Policies (14630)
9.6.36 Roseberry Home Farm is a Category A Listed early 19th century Gothic-influenced Building set within an area of wood-lined policies. The house and policies sit within a wider rural landscape which is largely sympathetic to the setting of both
37 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
the building and the policy land associated with it. In addition, the Home Farm and policies provide the setting for other listed features including Roseberry House, Episcopal Chapel, and Roseberry House gate and gate piers (14626-9). The main elevation of the Home Farm faces to the east, framed by the gate and gate piers and looking out towards Roseberry House (14626). There are open views in a northwest-southwest arc from the Home Farm, but with some screening provided from conifer planting on the near horizon. There are no clear views, other than from a southerly direction, of the Home Farm from the public road alongside which it lies. Home Farm and the other associated buildings have a relatively secluded setting.
9.6.37 Roseberry Home Farm lies approximately 3km to the northeast of the proposed development. Although the ZTV indicates that 7 to 9 turbines will be theoretically visible from Home Farm, the wireframe and photomontage (Figure 9.5, Volume 3), from outside the southwest corner of the building, shows that only one of the turbines would be visible from the building in views in this direction (although there may be some additional visibility from the upper floor of the house). The proposed development would not be visible from Home Farm when looking from the front (east) of the building towards the other Listed elements, nor would the development be present in views of Home Farm from the immediate surrounding landscape or when approaching the house through the main gate.
9.6.38 The effect of the proposed development on the setting of Roseberry Home Farm is therefore assessed to be of imperceptible magnitude and of negligible significance. The development would represent a barely distinguishable change to the baseline setting of Home Farm, chiefly through the possibility of intervisibility when looking only from the upper floors from the rear (west elevation) of the building.
Penicuik House and GDL (14634/14635)
9.6.39 Situated on either side of the River North Esk, Penicuik GDL comprises an extensive area of woodland, ponds and parkland located along the sides of the river valley. The policies date to the early 18th century and are considered to be of outstanding historical, architectural, artistic and scenic importance (Inventory description; Historic Scotland 2012), and the GDL provides the setting for the Category A Listed Old and New Penicuik Houses (14634/14635) and for several other architectural features including the scheduled Ravensneuk Castle (5609), and for Category B Listed Penicuik Tower (14638) and Ramsay’s Monument (14639). There is a good prospect looking southwards from the Houses towards Ramsay’s Monument, and the main approach to both Houses is from the east. Most of the views are, however, localised to within the GDL, following the course of the river and the heavily wooded glen. Good views can be had when looking
38 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
across the GDL from the surrounding uplands and the GDL retains some scenic significance in the local landscape.
9.6.40 The GDL (and Old Penicuik and New Penicuik Houses) lies over 5km to the northwest of the proposed development. The ZTV indicates that 7 to 9 turbines would theoretically be visible from limited locations within the GDL; these views confined mostly to the edges of the GDL and largely screened by policy planting. There is no predicted visibility from along the river valley itself, which provides the backdrop for most of the views within the GDL and from the Houses themselves, including the approaches from the east. Analysis of the ZTV suggests that 4 to 6 turbine blade tips would theoretically be visible in views from New Penicuik House (14635) and only 1 to 3 blade tips from Old Penicuik House (14634), with no hubs being visible from either. The wireframe and photomontage (Figure 9.6, Volume 3) produced from a location to the southwest of New Penicuik House show that only one turbine tip would theoretically be visible and that intervening woodland provided by the policy planting on the southern bank of the river would entirely screen the view. The designed view towards Ramsay’s Monument, in the direction of the development, would thus not be affected by the presence of the development. The development would be visible beyond the GDL when looking across the lower-lying ground from the uplands to the north, but this would be in distant views and the proposed development would not present a significant intrusion into these longer distance views across the GDL. It is considered that the wider landscape setting of the GDL and its contribution to the River North Esk valley landscape would not be significantly affected.
9.6.41 The effect of the proposed development on the setting of Penicuik GDL is assessed as being of no more than low magnitude. The introduction of the proposed development would not diminish or hamper appreciation of the character of the GDL as a whole, will not greatly affect the relationship between the buildings or other designed features/structures in the GDL, nor affect any specific vistas or views within the GDL. The effect on the GDL is considered to be of no more than minor significance and it is assessed that there will be an effect of no more than negligible significance on either Old Penicuik House or New Penicuik House.
Other Assets within 10km with Sensitive Settings
9.6.42 There are several other assets within 10km of the proposed development with theoretical visibility of the proposed development, whose settings have been identified as being sensitive and which may be affected by the proposed development. These include:
Several Scheduled Monuments of prehistoric date: Northshield Rings fort (731) (within Portmore GDL), Carnethy Hill cairn (1152), Camp Hill Fort (1163),
39 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Lawhead Hill fort (1173), Dundreich Cairn/Jeffries Course Cairn (2777/3577) and Castlelaw Fort and Souterrain/Castle Knowe palisaded enclosure (90064/6447);
Two scheduled 16th century castles: Uttershill (5063) and Hirendean (5608);
Two scheduled chapels: Moorfoot chapel (5796) and Rosslyn (6458) (within Roslin Glen and Hawthornden Castle GDL);
Category A Listed Arniston House (808) and GDL; and
Category B Listed Old Howgate Inn (14641) and Conservation Area.
9.6.43 Wireframes (and one photomontage, from Hirendean Castle) (Figures 9.7 to 9.18, Volume 3, Table 9.9) presenting views from these locations have been included to aid the assessment of possible effects on the setting of these assets, the detail of which can be found in Appendix 9.2, Volume 4. None of the assets are considered to undergo effects on their settings of any magnitude greater than low, and therefore of no more than minor significance.
Assets Beyond 10km
9.6.44 Three scheduled assets beyond 10km have been identified by Midlothian Council (ELCAS) as having sensitive settings (Table 9.1). These assets are:
Traprain Law fort (755);
Soutra Aisle, burial aisle and part of site of Medieval hospital (3067); and,
Arthur’s Seat (fort): within the Scheduled area of Holyrood Abbey Palace, Gardens and Park (90131).
9.6.45 Traprain Law lies 36km to the northeast of the proposed development, Soutra Aisle 20km to the ENE, and Arthur’s Seat 16km to the NNE. The distance at which the proposed development lies from all of these assets means that although all nine turbines would theoretically be visible from these locations, they would only be visible on the far horizon and in very distant views (see wireframes from these locations, Figures 9.19 to 21, Volume 3), together with other landscape features such as woodland and urban development. It is assessed that the effect of the proposed development on the settings of these assets would be of no more than imperceptible magnitude and of negligible significance.
Overhead Section of Indicative Grid Connection Route
9.6.46 Old Woodhouselee Castle (scheduled monument No. 5607) and Roslin Inventory Battlefield are both of national heritage importance. Pentland Burial Ground (90: 13036) and Old Woodhouselee Railway Viaduct (70: 7464), together with three other listed buildings (13032, 13033 and 13846) are of regional importance. Two
40 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
other listed buildings (7465 and 49691) are of local importance. These all lie within 500m of the indicative overhead line grid connection and each has a localisedsetting..
9.6.47 The indicative overhead grid connection (mounted on small wooden poles of no more than 10m in height) would run adjacent to and largely follow the same alignments as similarly scaled existing overhead power lines. Taking this into account, it is assessed that indirect effects on the settings of those assets identified within 500m of the indicative overhead section of the grid connection would be of no more than low magnitude and of no more than minor significance.
Cumulative Effects
9.6.48 Figure 9.3, Volume 3 shows the proposed development, the location of key cultural heritage assets within 10km of the development from which there would be predicted views of the turbines, and the location of those other wind energy developments that are within approximately 15km of the proposed development and therefore those most likely to have a cumulative effect on cultural heritage assets. These other wind energy developments include:
Bowbeat Hill (operational);
Carcant (consented);
Cloich (in planning);
Cowieslinn (scoping);
Dun Law and Dun Law Extension (operational);
Fauch Hill (in planning);
Longpark (operational) and Longpark Extension (scoping);
Rowantree (in planning); and
Toddleburn (operational).
9.6.49 The majority of these schemes are located to the east of the proposed development (Figure 9.3, Volume 3 and LVIA Figure 6.4.3, Volume 3), running along the western edge of the Lammermuir Hills. None of the cumulative schemes lie within 5km of the proposed development, and only four schemes (Bowbeat Hill (24 turbines), Carcant (3 turbines), Cowieslinn (1 turbine), and Cloich (18 turbines)) lie within 10km of the proposed development. Of these, only Bowbeat and Cloich are of a scale order that might potentially result in significant cumulative effects upon the settings of the heritage assets identified.
9.6.50 Cumulative 3600 wireframes have been produced for the same assets for which single wireframes have been produced (see Table 9.9 for details, Figures 9.22 to 39,
41 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
Volume 3), i.e. from those assets identified by HS, Midlothian Council (ELCAS) and SBCAS, and those others considered to have the most sensitive settings.
9.6.51 Only one asset, St. Mary’s Chapel (6333) is considered to receive a potentially significant cumulative effect on its setting. Figure 9.22, Volume 3 shows that, in addition to the proposed development, three other developments would be visible in the same view: Bowbeat, Cowieslinn and Cloich. Both Bowbeat and Cloich would be visible in distant views, above the skyline on raised topography. Both the cumulative wireframe (Figure 9.22, Volume 3) and the photomontage from St. Mary’s Chapel (Figure 9.4b, Volume 3) indicate that Cloich in particular would be present in the same arc of view as, and through, the proposed development, in southward views from the chapel but at considerably greater distance (10km further way than the proposed Mount Lothian Wind Farm development). The cumulative effect on the setting of the chapel is therefore considered to be of no more than low magnitude and of minor significance.
9.6.52 Five Scheduled Monuments (Carnethy Hill cairn (1152), Camp Hill fort (1163), Lawhead Hill fort (1173), and Castlelaw fort and Castle Knowe palisaded enclosure (90064/6447)) lie along the southeast facing slopes of the Pentland Hills range, with clear views across lower lying ground to the east and south, which include both the proposed development, and the majority of the other cumulative developments. Figures 9.26 to 28, Volume 3 and Figure 9.33, Volume 3 show that the proposed development would increase the number of wind farms visible from these locations, but that the proposed development would be spatially separated from the main cluster of wind farms (for example Toddleburn) which are visible on the far horizon to the east. In addition, the proposed development sits within the valley plain with the Moorfoot Hills providing a backdrop, and it would not contribute to the extension of turbines visible sitting above the horizon in views in this direction. The cumulative effect on the setting of these assets is considered to be of no more than that of the proposed development on its own (i.e. no more than low magnitude and minor significance).
9.6.53 Figures 9.25 and 9.29, Volume 3 show the cumulative views from Northshield Rings fort (731) and Dundreich cairn (2777). In the case of the former, Cloich is the most visible in views from the fort to the southwest, but these views would be largely screened by the conifer planting surrounding the fort, and neither Cloich nor the proposed Mount Lothian development would be visible in the same arc of view. Dundreich cairn commands extensive 3600 views from its location on the summit of Dundreich Hill, and the proposed development would add to the number of turbines visible in the northward arc of view. Bowbeat is the closest and most visible wind farm in views to the south. The proposed development would sit within the valley plain, the Pentland Hills providing a backdrop to the proposed
42 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
development in views in this direction, and Bowbeat would not be visible in the same arc of view as the proposed Mount Lothian development. The cumulative effect on both of these assets is considered to be of no more than low magnitude and of minor significance.
9.6.54 From the remaining assets assessed (for example Penicuik House and GDL, Figure 9.24, Volume 3), the cumulative developments considered within the assessment, and those included in the 3600 wireframes, are either not visible, or they are visible on the middle or distant horizon and not generally in the same arcs of view as the proposed development. The cumulative effects of the proposed development on the setting of these assets, in combination with other wind energy developments, would therefore be no more than that of the proposed development considered on its own (i.e. of no more than low magnitude and minor significance).
9.7 MITIGATION
9.7.1 The emphasis in Scottish Government Planning Advice Note (PAN) 2/2011: Planning and Archaeology (PAN2) is the preservation of important remains in situ where practicable and by record where preservation is not possible. The mitigation measures presented below take account of this planning guidance and offer various options for recording and ensuring that, where practical, surviving assets are preserved intact to retain the present historic elements of the landscape.
9.7.2 All mitigation works presented in the following paragraphs will take place prior to, or, where appropriate, during, the construction of the Development. All works will be conducted by a professional archaeological organisation, and the scope of works will be detailed in one or more Written Scheme(s) of Investigation (WSI). The WSI(s) will make provision for appropriate post-excavation analysis and dissemination of the results of the mitigation works, as well as for archiving of the project materials and records. The WSI(s) will be developed in consultation with ELCAS on behalf of Midlothian Council.
Preservation in Situ
9.7.3 In accordance with the requirements of planning policy, where heritage assets lie in close proximity to one or more construction elements of the proposed development, they will be avoided to ensure their preservation in situ. Where appropriate, surviving heritage assets will be visibly marked-out (to a distance of 10m where possible) to signal their presence to construction workers and to prevent accidental damage occurring to the remains during construction activities in the vicinity.
9.7.4 Sites to be marked off include:
43 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
The remains of sheep shelter (8) close to T9;
Surviving remains of a cottage (22) close to T9;
Four clearance cairns (35, 40 and 45-46): adjacent to the borrow pit (35), proposed track alignments (45 and 46) and T8 (40); and,
A former quarry (5a).
9.7.5 Two other sites, a sheepfold (60) and the remains of three small former gravel pits (61) lie in close proximity to the proposed horse trail, lie on either side of an existing track which will be utilised as part of the new horse trail. Development of the horse trail route would have no direct effect on these sites and no mitigation is required.
Watching Briefs, Excavation, Recording and Post-Excavation
9.7.6 The archaeological potential of the proposed development site is assessed as being moderate to low; except within the quarried areas. It is possible that buried archaeological features related to the 18th century farming landscape survive as buried features and there is potential for earlier (perhaps also prehistoric) remains to be encountered. It is expected that an archaeological condition will be placed on any planning consent and the scope of archaeological monitoring of construction activities (as outlined by ELCAS in the ES Consultation Response in Table 9.1 above) will be agreed with Midlothian Council’s Archaeological Advisors (ELCAS). The scope of works will be detailed in a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) and presented for the approval of Midlothian Council prior to works commencing on the site.
9.7.7 If important discoveries are made during archaeological mitigation works and preservation in situ is not possible, provision will be made for an appropriate level of recording that may include excavation, where necessary, of any archaeological remains encountered. Such provision will also include the consequent production of written reports on the findings, with post-excavation analyses and publications of the results of the works, as appropriate.
9.7.8 Specific sites to undergo archaeological mitigation works include:
The area of former rig and furrow (10) to be affected by construction of access tracks and the erection of Turbines 6 and 8, and permanent wind monitoring mast. This area would be subject to an archaeological watching brief on topsoil removal in order to identify and record any surviving buried evidence for the former field pattern;
The section of plantation bank (30) to be crossed by the access track and Turbine 9 crane hardstanding. An archaeological evaluation trench would be
44 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
excavated across the plantation bank prior to construction works in that area, in order to record details of the construction of the bank.
Construction Guidelines
9.7.9 Written Guidelines will be issued for use by all construction contractors, outlining the need to avoid causing unnecessary damage to known sites. The Guidelines will be incorporated into the Environmental Management Plan/Construction Methods Statement and will set out arrangements for calling upon retained professional support in the event that buried archaeological remains of potential archaeological interest (such as building remains, human remains, artefacts, etc.) should be discovered in areas not subject to archaeological monitoring. The guidance will make clear the legal responsibilities placed upon those who disturb artefacts or human remains.
9.8 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
9.8.1 Ninety-three sites and features of varying degrees of cultural heritage interest have been identified by the assessment within the proposed development areas including the indicative grid connection route, using a range of desk-based sources, consultations and a field study (Appendix 9.1, Volume 4 and Figure 9.1, Volume 3). The majority of the sites and features recorded are associated with medieval or later rural settlement, extractive industry or agrarian activity and are of no more than local heritage importance.
9.8.2 Direct effects of no more than minor significance are predicted on the remains of four sites (19, 20, 30 and 51). Two sites (10 and 23) are predicted to undergo effects of unknown significance as the baseline condition of any surviving buried remains has not been fully established at this stage. Should any remains survive the predicted direct effects would be of no more than minor significance.
9.8.3 Mitigation measures have been proposed to offset direct effects, where appropriate.
9.8.4 Indirect effects of moderate significance have been predicted on the setting of one cultural heritage asset in the wider landscape: St. Mary’s Chapel (6333). A cumulative effect of moderate significance has also been predicted for the Chapel, but for no other cultural heritage asset.
9.9 SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER
9.9.1 In light of responses to the submission of the original Environmental Statement received from Historic Scotland and ELCAS (on behalf of Midlothian Council), amendments to the ES chapter have been undertaken. Furthermore, since
45 MOUNT LOTHIAN WIND FARM ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT JANUARY 2014 CULTURAL HERITAGE
submission of the original Environmental Statement, changes to the infrastructure layout and horse-trail route have also taken place, and amendments to the ES chapter to reflect these changes have also been undertaken. These amendments include:
Additions to the consultation table (Table 9.1) outlining the responses from Historic Scotland and ELCAS;
Changes to number of sites: two new sites (60 and 61) included in baseline section and Appendix 9.1, Volume 4; additional direct effects included for sites 20 and 51;
Changes to the direct impacts section: site 30 will only now be affected in one location; site 18 will no longer be directly affected; site 20 will now be affected by the access route and the underground cable; site 51 will be further affected by the underground cable route;
Changes to the mitigation section: clearance cairns 39 and 44 no longer need to be fenced off; only one section of site 30 will now require archaeological recording; mention of sites 60 and 61, which will not require any mitigation;
An update to the mitigation section to reflect comments from ECLAS; Changes to the statement of significance: site 18 will no longer be directly affected; site 20 will now be affected; and
Addition of a desk-based assessment for the indicative grid connection route, including identification of external receptors along the route. The assessment of the indicative grid connection route is supported by three additional figures (Figures 9.40a-c, Volume 3), an additional table (Table 9.9) and an additional appendix (Appendix 9.3, Volume 4).

The same building is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1908) Edition maps (Sheet XIII.SE), with an enclosure. Field survey found no surviving remains relating to the toll booth; the area is now covered by dense forestry plantation. 2 Mount Lothian Toll 327487 657008 Historic maps; Field Forrester (1850) depicts a toll booth, annotated ‘Mount Lothian Toll,’ at the crossroads to Lesser None No Effect No Effect Survey the northwest of Mount Lothian Farm.

The same building is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1908) Edition maps (XIII.SE), but is not annotated. The building is no longer depicted on the Ordnance Survey 4th Edition map (1957). Field survey found no surviving remains relating to the toll booth; the location of the former toll booth is now within improved pasture. 3 Mount Lothian Farm 327156 656931 MEL5618 / HER; RCAHMS; Field The HER and RCAHMS record Mount Lothian Farm. The records relate to an archived Local None No Effect No Effect NT25NE 20 Survey copy of Ainslie’s 1976 map (see below). Pont (1630) and Adair (1682 and 1735) annotate ‘Mont Lothian’, ‘Mountlouthian’ and ‘Mountlothian’. A farmstead with an area of rig and furrow to the southeast is shown on Roy’s map (1747-55) and annotated as ‘Mount Cloudy’. Laurie’s map (1766) annotates a farmstead as ‘Mount Louden’, and depicts large areas to the south and west of the farm as cultivated ground. Knox’s map (1816) also annotates a farm as ‘Monks Lothian’. These maps appear to depict a farm associated with St. Mary’s Chapel (Scheduled Monument No. 6333). Ainslie’s ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ (1796), depicts St. Mary’s chapel (and the farm adjacent to it) as ‘Monkslothian Farm’. The plan also shows the lands the farm worked in the surrounding area. A U-shaped farmstead (16) annotated ‘Upper Tower’ is depicted to the west of the chapel and Monkslothian Farm; this building is still shown as roofed on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854) and is likely to be the farmstead that Roy annotates as ‘Wr. Mount Cloudy’ (Wester Mount Cloudy). The location of the present Mount Lothian Farm is first depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854) as a U-shaped farmhouse set amongst enclosed garden ground with five ancillary buildings to the west, southwest and south- one of which is annotated as a threshing mill, fed by a sluice and reservoir (20) to the west. The outflow for the mill appears to head southeastwards from the farm to a burn. A similar layout is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1908; 1909) Edition maps (sheets XIII.SE and XIX.NE), although the threshing mill is no longer annotated by the time of the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map, and may have gone out of use as the sluice leading from the reservoir (20) is also no longer depicted at that time. The farmstead is still shown on the Ordnance Survey 4th Edition map (1957), although the main farmhouse appears to have undergone alterations and only two of the ancillary buildings appear to still be extant at that date. A similar layout is depicted on the 2002 Ordnance Survey map. The farmstead depicted on Ainslie’s map (1796) adjacent to St. Mary’s chapel (Index No. 6333), was most likely rebuilt at its current location sometime in the late 18th/early 19th century. Field survey found some of the 19th century farm buildings still extant. Some are not upstanding to full height and have modern additions to form their roofs. One large rectangular building still surviving may be the former threshing mill. 4 Mount Lothian Gravel 32600 65700 MEL9491 / HER; RCAHMS; The HER and RCAHMS record the remains of at least five gravel pits visible on oblique Local None No Effect No Effect Pits NT25NE 29 Historical Maps; aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 2001) in improved pasture about 750m west of Mount Aerial Photographs; Lothian.

The most westerly large quarry (4c) is annotated ‘Dinner Law Quarry, in Past’, the most easterly (4b) is shown as ‘Lime Quarry, in Past’, suggesting that at least these quarries were out of use by the end of the 18th century. The quarries are located within an irregular shaped arable field largely depicted as containing rig and furrow cultivation, and annotated as ‘Dinner Lees’. A circular ‘Old Stell’, is also depicted in the southwest corner of the irregular field (25). The quarries depicted on Ainslie’s map 91796), are not depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition map (Edinburghshire 1854, sheet 18), but they do appear, together with a third (4a-c) on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1892; 1895) and 3rd Edition maps (1908; 1909) (sheets XIII SE and XIX NE), and are annotated as ‘Old Gravel Pit'. A fourth quarry (4e) is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 4th Edition map (1957) and annotated ‘Old Gravel Pit’. The five areas of quarrying (4a-e) recorded by the HER and RCAHMS, and an area of rig and furrow cultivation corresponding to that shown on Ainslie’s plan, are visible on oblique aerial photographs (RCHAMS 2001 E13213), and on vertical aerial photographs from 1946. The areas of quarrying comprise a complex series of quarry pits. It is evident that quarrying was occurring at this location from at least the mid- late (and probably earlier) 18th century, and that extraction was undertaken in two main phases, one during the pre-improvement period, and terminating at or around the end of 18th century, and a second phase occurring between the mid and late 19th century. Field survey identified five distinct areas of quarrying: 4a: a circular, largely water-filled quarry of at least 2m-3m in depth. 4b: a series of grassed over linear excavations and circular pits with associated small grassed over spoil tips. The pits measure between 1m to 2m in depth and the heaps are 0.5m-1m in height. One main linear cut is present along the northern limit of the quarry. 4c: two grassed over large sub-oval pits, measuring between 1m-5m in depth. The most northerly pit comprises of three smaller pits within. Several small linear spoil tips run perpendicular to the edge of the quarry along its northwestern edge. 4d: a shallow linear excavation, 0.7m-1m deep. A large area of modern dumping/rubble has been placed on its north side. 4e: largely infilled and defined only by a change in vegetation and slightly more waterlogged ground. There is no visible trace of any rig and furrow cultivation, the area now consisting of improved pasture grassland. 5 Quarry 32646 65654 MEL9496 / HER; RCAHMS; The HER and RCAHMS record the remains of a quarry visible on oblique aerial Local None No Effect No Effect NT25NE 34 Historical Maps; photographs (RCAHMSAP 2001) in improved pasture approximately 750m west of Aerial Photographs; Mount Lothian. Field Survey The quarry (5a) is annotated as `Old Quarry' on the on the Ordnance Survey 1st (1854), 2nd (1895), and 3rd (1909) edition maps (Edinburghshire sheet 18; sheet XIX.NE), and as `Quarry (disused)' on the 1976 Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 map. The quarrying depicted on the Ordnance Survey maps is visible on vertical aerial photographs from 1946, together with a much larger area (5b-d) of individual circular, linear and oval quarry pits within a tree-lined, enclosed area of land, shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st, 2nd and 3rd Edition maps (1854, 1895, 1909) as wooded. This quarrying is also visible on oblique aerial photographs (RCHAMS 2001 E13224, EH13226) and on vertical aerial photographs form 1946 and 1969. The quarrying is not shown on Ainslie’s ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ (1796), the land noted at the time as being used mainly for pasture. This suggests that the quarrying here was relatively short-lived, occurring between the turn of the 18th century and the early-mid 19th century, as the area is shown as wooded from the time of the Ordnance Survey 1st Site no Site name Easting Northing HER no / Source Description Heritage Type of Effect Magnitude of Significance of RCAHMS no Importance Effect Effect Edition map. Field survey recorded four main areas of quarrying: 5a: a heavily vegetated sub-circular pit, 1m-2.5m deep. Modern rubble has been dumped in the interior. 5ban irregular grassed over pit, 1m-3m deep with smaller pits and excavations, and small spoil tips located within the main quarry. 5c: three small circular grassed over excavations (at 326391 656551, 326406 6566551 and 326416 656570). The pits are between 7m-9m in diameter and 1m to 2m deep. 5d: an extensive area of small pits and excavations with associated spoil tips. The area was heavily vegetated and infilled, but the pits and excavations are between 0.5m to 1m deep. 6 Sheepfold 32613 65636 MEL9493 / HER; RCAHMS; The HER and RCAHMS record the remains of an octagonal sheepfold measuring 20.5m Local None No Effect No Effect NT25NE 31 Historic maps; Aerial across. Its perimeter wall is upstanding to its lower courses, enclosing four round pillar Photographs; Field foundations. An entrance on the SSW side leads to the remains of an attached Survey rectangular enclosure measuring 14m by 9m, with an entrance on the SSE side. The sheepfold is depicted as partly roofed on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire 1854, sheet 18) and without the attached enclosure. It is depicted as unroofed on the Ordnance Survey 2nd and 3rd Edition maps (Edinburghshire 1895, 1909 sheets XIX NE) with the attached enclosure. The sheepfold is shown as disused on the 1976 Ordnance Survey Edition map. Ainslie’s ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ (1796) depicts a circular ‘sheep stell’ which corresponds to the location of the sheep fold. The sheep fold and attached enclosure are clearly visible on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMS 2001 E13214, E13216 & E13229) and on vertical aerial photographs from 1946. Field Survey found the sheep fold as described. The walls are much tumbled and the feature is now in fair to poor condition. The walls are tumbled to between 1m and 2m wide and 0.4m-0.8m high. The attached rectangular enclosure measures 10m by 14m by 0.3m high, with walls measuring 1m wide. Modern dumping and demolition is present in the corner of the structure. 7 Gravel Pit 32610 65625 MEL9492 / HER; RCAHMS; The HER and RCAHMS record the remains of a gravel pit visible on oblique aerial Local None No Effect No Effect NT25NE 30 Historic Maps; Aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 2001) in improved pasture about 1.2 km south west of Mount Photographs; Field Lothian. It is not depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition map (Edinburghshire Survey 1854, sheet 18), but is described as `Old Gravel Pit' on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1909) Edition maps (sheet XIX. NE). The quarry is annotated as `Pit (disused)' on the 1976 Ordnance Survey map. The quarry is visible on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMS 2001 E13214, E13216 & E13229) as a series of irregular-oval pits. Field survey found the gravel pit as described. The pit is cut into the hillside and measures between 1.5m to 4m deep. It consists of several excavations of between 5m to 10m in diameter. Modern tumble/rubble dumping is present in the interior. 8 Sheep shelter 32621 65620 MEL9494 / HER; RCAHMS; The HER and RCAHMS record a sheep shelter but provide no further information. Lesser None No Effect No Effect NT25NE 32 Aerial Photographs; The sheep shelter is visible on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMS 2001 E13214, Field Survey E13216 and E13229) as a cross-shaped structure in an area of rough pasture. The structure is located within a curvilinear banked enclosure (30) (depicted on the 2002 Ordnance Survey map), the northeastern extent of which appears to enclose an area of possible rig and furrow cultivation. Field survey found the sheep shelter as a cross-shaped turf and stone banked feature defined by banks measuring 2.5m wide by 0.3m-0.5m high. 9 Gravel Pit 32622 65596 MEL9495 / HER; RCAHMS; The HER and RCAHMS record the remains of a gravel pit visible on oblique aerial Local None No Effect No Effect NT25NE 33 Historic Maps; Aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 2001) in moorland about 1.3 km north-east of Mount Lothian. Site no Site name Easting Northing HER no / Source Description Heritage Type of Effect Magnitude of Significance of RCAHMS no Importance Effect Effect Photographs; Field It is depicted as ‘Gravel Pit’ on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition map (Edinburghshire Survey 1854, sheet 18). The pit is annotated as ‘Old Gravel Pit’ on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1909) Edition maps (XIX.NE). The pit is annotated as `Pit (disused)' on the 1976 Ordnance Survey map. An area of quarrying is visible as a series of circular and irregular pits, heavily vegetated, on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMS 2001 E13215). Field survey recorded the quarry as comprising several large reed and water-filled linear cuts and sub-circular pits measuring between 1m-3m deep, with smaller cuts and pits within the main cuts. 10 Mount Lothian 32682 65611 MEL9497 / HER; RCAHMS; The HER and RCAHMS record the remains of a quarry visible on oblique aerial Local Direct: Unknown (Medium): Unknown (Minor) (Quarry and Rig and NT25NE 35 Historic Maps; Aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 2001) in improved pasture about 800m SSW of Mount Area of former rig No upstanding Furrow) Photographs; Field Lothian.

The quarry is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition map (Edinburghshire 1854, system crossed by, Effect on possible sheet 18) as ‘Mount Lothian Quarry Limestone’ and has two lime kilns located at the proposed site buried remains. eastern end of the quarry. The quarry is depicted as ‘Mount Lothian Quarry (Disused)’ access track, and on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1909) Edition maps (sheet XIX.NE), and erection of turbines only the northern-most limekiln is still shown (but not annotated). The quarry is shown T6 and T8 and as ‘Quarry (disused)’ on the Ordnance Survey 1957 and 1976 maps; the former still permanent wind depicts the northern-most limekiln. monitoring mast. An extensive area of deep quarrying is visible on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMS 2001 E13217, E13222 and E13223) and vertical aerial photographs from 1946, together with extensive areas of rig and furrow cultivation to the west, southwest and south of the quarry. The rig is aligned in at least three different orientations, and is bisected by the remains of a pathway associated with the quarry (51). Some of this rig may be the relict remains of former pre-improvement irregular fields shown on Ainslie’s ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ (1796) and annotated as ‘The Back of the Lang Know’ and ‘The Meikle Auchengray Hill’, ‘Mid Moor Lees’ and ‘No. 06’. Other parts appear to be later (early 19th century), as they are not depicted as cultivated areas on Ainslie’s plan. Field survey recorded an extensive area of quarrying with the main cut along the northern edge of the quarry measuring between 7m-10m deep. Shallower cuts and pits are present along the southern edge The area is now used for cattle grazing and dumping farm rubbish. The remains of a probable kiln were identified just to the south of the location of the lime kilns depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map. The structure identified consists of a coarse stone mortared retaining wall built into an artificial mound, measuring approximately 4m high and largely obscured by trees. The semi-circular remains of a brick built possible chimney or flue were identified near the summit of the mound, the feature measured 2m in diameter by 2.5m-3m high and appeared to have been heat affected. It was much tumbled and open to the east. No other trace of the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition kilns could be identified other than a small area of drystone walling at 326925 656041, forming a small structure measuring 3m by 2m by 0.3m-0.7m high defined by walls measuring 0.4m high, and largely overgrown. There was no visible trace of the rig and furrow cultivation identified from aerial photographs and cartographic sources; the ground now being improved pasture grassland. 11 Find Spot 327 656 MEL9438 / HER; RCAHMS; Field The HER and RCAHMS record the find-spot of fragmentary remains of a Neolithic Lesser None No Effect No Effect NT25NE 28 Survey axehead. The axehead measures 11.3 cm by 7.4 cm by 3.1 cm and weighs 343 g. It was claimed as Treasure Trove (TT.19/05) and allocated to the National Museum of Scotland. 12 Cockmuir Bridge 32660 65568 MEL9498 / HER; RCAHMS; Field The HER and RCAHMS record the remains of a quarry (12a) in rough ground about 330 Local None No Effect No Effect (Quarry and Rig and NT25NE 36 Survey m NNE of Cockmuir Bridge. It is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map Furrow) (Edinburghshire 1854, sheet 18) as ‘Old Quarry’. Areas of straight rig (10) lie to the north-east and south-west (14) of the quarry and have been recorded on oblique aerial Site no Site name Easting Northing HER no / Source Description Heritage Type of Effect Magnitude of Significance of RCAHMS no Importance Effect Effect photographs (RCAHMSAP 2001). Ainslie’s ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ (1796) depicts a Limestone at this location, associated with a road running roughly north-south and leading past ‘Dinner Law Quarry’ (2) to ‘Harberfhaw’ (Herbertshaw). The quarry is surrounded by two large areas of rig and furrow cultivation annotated as ‘The back of the Lang Know;’ and ‘The Meikle Auchengray Hill’. Knox (1816) also depicts a limestone quarry and a road on the same alignment. The Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire 1854, sheet 18) does not show a quarry at this location, the area being shown as wooded. An irregular area of cleared ground, with a small area of possible quarrying on the southwest extent, is shown within woodland to the north and west of Hillhead farmstead (13) on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1909) Edition maps (sheet XIX.NE). It is possible that the former quarrying was revealed through tree-felling and the extent recorded on the Ordnance Survey 2nd and 3rd Edition maps. The quarry is visible as an area of linear cuts on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMS 2001, E13218-9 & E13221), and on vertical aerial photographs from 1946 and 1969, within an area of partially tree-lined enclosed land. Extensive areas of rig and furrow cultivation are visible in fields to the north of the quarry (10) and to the south of the quarry (14). The quarrying is likely to date to the 18th century, and to have terminated sometime in the early 19th century, when the area was then planted with trees, as depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854). Field survey recorded an extensive area of grass covered quarrying: 12a: a large linear cut along the northern edge measuring 3m to 4m deep. The southern and western ends consist of much smaller cuts and spoil tips. Several tree stumps and tree bowls are visible across the area, attesting to the former planting and then later clearance. 12b: an additional quarry to the southeast of the main quarry, measuring 15m by 8m with several small sub-rectangular cuts within. 12c: A large triangular-shaped spoil heap lies to the south of the main quarry, measuring 20m at its widest by 0.6m by 1m high. Field survey did not identify any remains of the rig and furrow recorded on aerial photographs; the area now within improved pasture. 13 Hillhead (Building) 32664 65563 MEL9499 / HER; RCAHMS; Field The HER and RCAHMS record that the footings of a rectangular building and adjacent Local None No Effect No Effect NT25NE37 Survey enclosure are visible on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 2001) in an area of rough ground about 330 m NNE of Cockmuir Bridge. The building is shown as roofed on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition map (Edinburghshire1854, sheet 18) with a small enclosure on the western end. The remains lie at the edge of an area of forestry. The fields to the south of the former farmstead contain straight rig and furrow (14). The area immediately to the northwest of the former farmstead contains extensive quarry workings (12). A well is depicted to the north of the building on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map. The building is still annotated, (but shown as unroofed) on the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map (1895, XIX.NE) and the enclosure is no longer depicted. The Ordnance Survey 3rd Edition map (1909, XIX.NE) depicts only an unroofed building. The Ordnance Survey 4th Edition map (1957) depicts some additions to the building and annotates it as ‘sheepfold’. The farmstead is visible on oblique aerial photographs (RCHAMS 2001, E13218-9, E13221) as a rectangular building divided into six compartments with a rectangular enclosure attached to the north. The remains of a possible trackway running to and from the farmstead is also visible, and may be the remains of the road shown on Ainslie’s and Knox’s maps (1796, 1816). Site no Site name Easting Northing HER no / Source Description Heritage Type of Effect Magnitude of Significance of RCAHMS no Importance Effect Effect Field survey recorded the footings of a rectangular building measuring 36m by 4.5m wide, defined by walls measuring 1m-2m wide and 0.3m-0.6m high, with occasional facing stones visible in places. The six compartments each measure 3.5m across. No clear entrances were identified. The associated enclosure is visible as a slight raised terrace with a low bank and ditch running along the outer edge. The bank measures 1m wide by 0.2m high; the ditch 0.8m-1m across. There is a possible division to the enclosure at its eastern end where a smaller bank running North-South is visible. 14 Rig and Furrow 32653 65553 MEL9498 / HER; RCAHMS; Field The HER and RCAHMS record that the fields to the south of the former Hillhead Local None No Effect No Effect NT25NE 36 Survey farmstead (13) contain straight rig and furrow. Ainslie’s ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ (1796) depicts two large irregular areas/fields of arable rig and furrow cultivation annotated as ‘The Back of the Lang Know’ and ‘The Little Auchengray Hill’. The rig recorded by the RCAHMS and HER may be the relict remains of some of these pre-improvement fields. The Ordnance Survey 1st edition map (Edinburghshire1854, sheet 18) shows an area of unenclosed cultivated ground to the south and west of Hillhead (13). The rig is visible on oblique aerial photographs (RCHAMS 2001, E13218-9 & E13221) and on vertical aerial photographs from 1946 and 1969, as aligned in two different orientations. Field survey identified partial remains of the rig and furrow, visible as the patchy, denuded remains of rig measuring 0.2m high by 3-4m crest to crest. The rig is visible only in the north eastern corner and southeastern edge of the area defined from aerial photographs. 15 Cottage 326918 655932 Historic Maps; Field The Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire1854, sheet 18) shows a small Local None No Effect No Effect Survey rectangular roofed building with a small square annex at its south end, set within a small enclosure, adjacent to the west side of the public road (15a). The building and enclosure are still shown on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895, XIX.NE) and 3rd edition (1909, XIX.NE) maps, the building being unroofed by the time of the 3rd Edition map. Field survey recorded the cottage (15a) as comprising of coarsely dressed mortared red sandstone, and measuring 7m by 5.5m and upstanding to 5m at the southern gable end; elsewhere it is much tumbled. The square annex measures 3m by 2.5m. A 3m long section of the enclosure wall was identified on the west side of the building. The wall measures 1m by 0.2m high. The fragment of an ancillary structure (15b) was identified to the west of the section enclosure wall. The structure was defined by an L-shaped section of wall measuring 3m by 2m and defined by walls measuring 1, wide by 0.4m high. 16 Building 327132 657061 Historic Maps; Field Ainslie’s ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ (1796), depicts a small U-shaped building annotated as Local None No Effect No Effect Survey ‘Upper Tower’ with small pockets of cultivated croft land and improved and unimproved pasture surrounding it is shown to the west of Monks Lothian farm and chapel. Roy’s map (1747-55) depicts a farm annotated ‘Wr. Mount Cloudy’ (Wester Mount Cloudy) with ‘Mount Cloudy’ to the west (Monklothian farm); Knox’s map (1816) also annotates a steading as ‘Upper Farm’, with ‘Monks Lothian’ farm to the west The Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire1854, sheet 18) shows a roofed U-shaped building, within a triangular enclosure, to the north of Mount Lothian Farm (3) (west and south of the earlier farm shown on Ainslies’s plan (1796) and Knox’s map (1816)). The building is shown as unroofed on the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map (1895, XIII.SE) and is no longer depicted on the Ordnance Survey 3rd Edition map (1908, XIII.SE).

Both buildings are depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1908) Edition maps (sheet XIII.SE) but are not annotated. Field survey identified a row of farm cottages. A small square cottage to the southeast of the row appears to be a more modern structure. 18 Fullarton Quarry(ies) 327711 656614 Historic Maps; Field A large area of quarrying, annotated as ‘Fullarton Quarry, limestone’ is depicted on the Local None No Effect No Effect Survey Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire 1854, sheet 18). It is associated with two lime kilns and another area of quarrying annotated as ‘Old Quarry (limestone)’ to the south. A small square roofed building with an attached enclosure is shown between the two areas of quarrying on their western side. Both quarries are shown as disused on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1909) Edition maps (sheet XIX.NE) and the limekilns are no longer depicted. A T-shaped building with an attached enclosure is shown on the southwest side of the Fullarton quarry, and is still visible as a roofed building on vertical aerial photographs from 1969. The building is shown as unroofed on the 1976 Ordnance Survey map. The quarries are annotated as ‘Quarries (dis)’ on the current (2002) Ordnance Survey map. Field survey recorded the quarries as surviving in good condition, within an area of improved pasture. The southern quarry is very steep, approximately 15-20m deep. The northern, Fullarton Quarry, is shallower, although the area to the north of the public road has a steep quarried limestone face. Two limekilns survive; the most westerly one is almost fully intact and comprises a semi-circular structure of mortared sandstone and whinstone. An access track leads from the kilns westwards towards the public road. The ruined remains of the small square building and enclosure visible on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854), also survive; the building is upstanding to gable height on both ends but is poorly preserved elsewhere. 19 Gravel pit 327361 655250 Historic maps; Field A gravel pit is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st (1854) and 2nd (1895) Ordnance Lesser Direct: High Minor Survey Survey maps (Edinburghshire sheet 18; XIX.NE), but is not shown on the Ordnance rd Quarry subsumed Survey 3 Edition map (1909, XIX.NE), indicating that it was no longer in use at that by borrow pit date. Field survey recorded a small partially grassed over quarry cut into an east facing slope. The quarry is poorly preserved and measures 3m-4m in diameter by 2m deep. 20 Reservoir 326895 656895 Historic Maps; Aerial The Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire1854, sheet 18) shows a long, Local Direct: Low Negligible Photographs; Field narrow reservoir with a sluice at its eastern end.

The reservoir is visible as in infilled feature on vertical aerial photographs from 1946. Field survey recorded the remains of the reservoir as now largely infilled and reed covered. The remains of a brick sluice gate with metal turning mechanism are present at the location depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854), together with a lade running to the former threshing mill. A hole adjacent to the public road showed the water to be still free flowing and the lade to be stone lined. 21 Cockmuir quarries 3269 6555 MEL8690 / HER; RCAHMS; A series of five quarries (RCAHMS 738/14, nos. 1 & amp 2) were recorded to the east of Local None No Effect No Effect NT25NE 8 Historic Maps; Field the Loch Burn during the course of a pre-afforestation survey by AOC (Scotland) Ltd Survey (O’Sullivan, 1994).

Examination of the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854) shows that the two southern most pits are annotated as ‘Gravel Pits’, but the northernmost area of quarrying is annotated as ‘Old Quarry’. Both the gravel pits and the quarry are depicted as disused on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1909) Edition maps (sheet XIX.NE). Field survey found the areas of quarrying to be largely infilled One quarried edge is formed from quarrying along the burn valley. 22 Building 326144 656156 MEL9494 / Historic maps; Field A small roofed building with an enclosure attached to the western side is depicted on the Local None No Effect No Effect NT25NE 32 Survey Ordnance Survey 1st (Edinburghshire 1854, sheet 18), 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1909) Edition maps (sheet XIX.NE). The building and enclosure are still depicted on the 2002 Ordnance Survey map, but the building is shown as unroofed. Field survey recorded the ruined remains of a cottage comprised roughly dressed mortared sandstone forming measuring 7m by 6m and upstanding to a maximum height of 4m at the gable ends. An ancillary structure measuring 3.5m by 3.5m was identified at the eastern end. 23 Salterford 32739 65507 MEL8695 / HER; RCAHMS; The HER and RCAHMS record that a rectangular building of three chambers (RCAHMS Local Direct: Unknown (Low): Unknown NT25NE 10 Historic maps; Aerial MS 738/14, no.10), set within a trapezoidal enclosure and with further enclosures to the (Negligible) Former enclosures No upstanding Photographs; Field south, and was recorded to the south of the Loch Burn during a pre-afforestation survey 23b and 23c remains visible of Survey by AOC (Scotland) Ltd (O’ Sullivan, 1994).

Effect on ‘Salterford’ on a map by Sharp, Greenwood and Fowler (Map of the county of Edinburgh, re-route potential buried 1828). Both the Ordnance Survey 1st (1854) and 2nd (1895) Editions maps depict the remains of field layout of the settlement in more or less its present form. An isolated quarry pit banks. (RCAHMS MS 738/14, no.9) lies to the south of the farmstead, on the north side of the track from Cockmuir to Toxside. A rectangular roofed building (23a) annotated ‘Salterford’, is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire 1854, sheet 18), attached to two garden enclosures (23b) and associated with a well and one large sub-square enclosure (23c) and a gravel pit. The building, garden enclosures and gravel pit are still depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd (1895) and 3rd (1909) Edition maps (sheet XIX.NE), although the well is no longer shown and the large enclosure is reduced in size. The building is shown as unroofed on subsequent Ordnance Survey map editions (1957, 1976, 2002), and on vertical aerial photographs from 1946. Field survey recorded a rectangular building (23a) of three compartments measuring 15.5m by 5.5m. The most westerly compartment appeared to be a more recent addition, comprising of coarsely dressed mortared red sandstone, forming walls measuring 0.5m wide by up to 1.3m high and enclosing an internal space measuring 2m across. The central and easternmost compartments comprised much tumbled and overgrown drystone walling measuring 0.8m-1.5m wide by 0.5m high. The remains of a drystone revetment wall, 0.8m-1m wide by 0.7m high were identified to the southwest of the building remains, together with turf covered stoney banks forming the remains of other walls present on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map in the NE corner of the enclosure (23c). The later enclosure (23d) is visible as turf covered drystone walls.

The quarry measures 11m in internal diameter by a maximum of 1.5m deep, with an entrance to the west. 28 Field bank 326356 655551 Field Survey Field survey indentified the denuded remains of section of turf field bank in rough Lesser None No Effect No Effect pasture, following the contour of the lower slopes of a hill. The bank measures approximately 30m in length by 1.2m wide by 0.3m-0.5m high and has traces of a slight ditch on the northern side. The bank is cut through by a drainage ditch at its northwestern end. An area of possible rig and furrow is visible to the north and east of the bank, of similar form and dimensions to that recorded as site 14. 29 Quarry 326371 655798 Field Survey Field survey identified the remains of a quarry in rough pasture on gently sloping ground. Lesser None No Effect No Effect The quarry is defined by two sub-circular pits measuring 6m and 4m in diameter, and 0.6m-1m deep and 0.8m deep respectively. A small spoil tip to the south of the pits measures 3m in diameter by 0.8m-1m high. 30 Plantation boundary n/a n/a Historic Maps; Field A curvilinear plantation boundary is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map Local Direct: Low Negligible Survey (1854) and subsequent editions. Bank cut by access Field survey recorded the boundary as a largely well preserved turf bank measuring track and crane 1.2m-2m wide by 0.3m-0.6m high. In places, for example to the east of site 8, the bank hardstanding for had been replaced by a drystone wall, running along the same alignment. A section of Turbine 9. bank to the southeast of site 6 was no longer visible, having been eroded through recent ploughing activity. A modern post and wire fence cuts across the alignment of the former bank at this location. 31 Quarry 326258 656806 Maps; Field Survey The 2002 Ordnance Survey map depicts an oval feature to the southeast of another area Lesser None No Effect No Effect of quarrying (4). Field Survey recorded a small oval quarry cut into the northern side of a low knoll. The quarry measures 15m by 10m by 1.5m deep. Recent quarry tumble/rumble is present within and the quarry is likely to be relatively recent. 32 Trackway (possible) 325900 656093 Field Survey Field Survey identified the remains of a possible trackway aligned NNW-ESE running Lesser None No Effect No Effect 325996 656068 through an area of bog and heather. The (possible) trackway is detectable by a low, flat- topped turf-covered bank measuring 2m-2.5m wide by 0.2m-0.3m high with slight drainage ditches visible on either side. The bank could not be traced into the fields to the west and appears to have been truncated by a drainage ditch. It peters out to the ESE into an area of reeds and bog. 33 Enclosure 326021 655986 Field Survey Field survey identified the denuded remains of a circular enclosure in rough pasture on Lesser None No Effect No Effect (sheepfold?) the summit of a low knoll. The enclosure is 14m in diameter and is defined by a turf bank measuring 1m-1.2m wide by 0.2m-0.3m high, with a possible entrance on the east/ northeastern arc measuring 1m wide. The feature is likely to be the remains of an old sheepfold. It is not shown on Ainslie ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ (1796) and so potentially may predate this. 34 Enclosure 326082 656028 Field Survey Field survey identified the denuded and poorly preserved remains of a circular enclosure Lesser None No Effect No Effect (sheepfold?) in rough pasture on the summit of a low knoll to the northeast of another similar feature (33).

Two main heaps of small to medium sub-angular stones are visible, with a smaller one of larger quarried stone immediately to the south of these, measuring between 0.4m-1.2m high. The heaps of stone lie within a hollow, possible an old quarry, measuring approximately 15m by 7m overall, with farm rubbish dumped in the centre. 50 Grouse Butts 325676 656453 Maps; Field Survey A series of five grouse butts are shown on the 1976 Ordnance Survey map and the 2002 Lesser None No Effect No Effect Ordnance Survey map arranged in a linear formation aligned roughly east to west. Field survey found little surviving evidence of the grouse butts other than two slightly raised areas of grass measuring 3m by 4m by 0.2m-0.3m high forming possible platforms. 51 Trackways and n/a n/a Historic Maps; Field Several paths or trackways are shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854), Local Direct: Low Negligible pathways Survey running predominantly NNW-SSE and leading to and from the main quarry site of Mount Two sections of Lothian (10) to the public road to the south and east, and along the southwestern side of trackway (south of Hillhead (13). This later path may well be the same as the one depicted on Ainslie’s Mount Lothian ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ (1796), leading from the limestone quarry (12), (immediately to quarry (10) and the north of Hillhead (13), northwestwards to Herbertshaw. Fragments of both of the west of a former pathways, largely those sections closest to the quarry sites, are visible on aerial TM reservoir (20)) photographs from 1946, and on modern satellite imagery (Google ). crossed by access A long section of the footpath associated with Mount Lothian Quarry (10) quarry is visible track and between 326806 655701 and 326748 656034, and 326861 655997, as a slightly raised underground grid bank measuring 2m-2.5m wide by 0.2m high. The pathway is used as a cattle trackway connection where it travels through an area of rough pasture. A second smaller section is visible further north, as a slight grassy holloway measuring 2.5m wide and still in use as farm access from the main B6372 road into fields to the west of Mount Lothian Farm. Two small sections of footpath are visible to the southwest of Hillhead (13). The first runs for approximately 8m from 326623 655621 to 326653 655627 on a northeast- southwest alignment and is visible as a slight terrace into the slope measuring 2m wide by 0.15m-0.2m deep. The second section runs from 326524 655551 to 326445 655430 on a northeast-southwest alignment and is visible as a slight holloway measuring 1m wide by 0.1m deep, petering out at its southwestern end into just a cattle path. 52 Sheep stell 326865 655914 Historic maps; Field A circular feature annotated ‘Sheep Stell’ is depicted on Ainslie’s ‘Plan of Monkslothian’ Lesser None No Effect No Effect Survey (1796) to the north of a lime quarry (12). The stell is shown within an area of moor and pasture annotated ‘The Rig Head’, and is not depicted on subsequent maps. Field survey found no visible traces of the stell in an area of improved pasture. 53 Salterford burnt 32747 65505 NT25NE 11/ HER; RCAHMS; Field The HER and RCAHMS record that two conjoined crescentic mounds (RCAHMS MS Unknown None No Effect No Effect mounds (possible) MEL8696 Survey 738/14, no.11) were recorded to the south of the Loch Burn in an area of low-lying marshy ground during a pre-afforestation survey by AOC (Scotland) Ltd (O’Sullivan, 1994). They are possibly burnt mounds. Field survey did not identify any visible remains of the possible burnt mounds in a heavily overgrown area of waterlogged ground. 54 Fullarton: Building 32816 65594 NT25NE 16/ HER; RCAHMS; Field The HER and RCAHMS record that a possible building is depicted on the Ordnance Lesser None No Effect No Effect MEL5176 Survey Survey 1st Edition map (1854) and annotated ‘ruin’, but is not shown on the current Ordnance Survey map (2001). The ruin building is not depicted on either the 2nd (1895) or the 3rd (1908) edition Site no Site name Easting Northing HER no / Source Description Heritage Type of Effect Magnitude of Significance of RCAHMS no Importance Effect Effect Ordnance Survey maps. Field survey recorded a grassed over sub-rectangular cut into the slope measuring 8m by 4m by 1m-1.4m deep, with a corresponding low bank running along the edges of the cut measuring 1m wide by 0.4m-0.5m high. The feature may be a quarry that has disturbed the former building remains. 55 Quarry 328222 656031 Historic Maps; Field A quarry annotated ‘Old Quarry’ is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st (1854), 2nd Local None No Effect No Effect Survey (1895) and 3rd (1908) edition maps. Field survey recorded a large linear-irregular area of quarrying, measuring approximately 2m-3m deep, and extending down to the edge of Fullarton Water to the west. The extent of the quarrying is larger than that shown on early Ordnance Survey mapping, and also includes two sub-circular spoil heaps (at 328265 655986 and 328247 655995) measuring 0.4m-1m high and 7m by 8m, and 22m by 9m respectively. 56 Side Moss: Quarry; 328457 655579 NT25NE27/ HER; RCAHMS; The HER and RCAHMS record a sheepfold and quarry, both of which are depicted on Local None No Effect No Effect Sheepfold; Rig and MEL8996 Aerial Photographs; the ordnance Survey 1st Edition (1854), and have been recorded on oblique aerial Furrow Field Survey photography (RCAHMSAP 2005) lying on Side Moss. Rig is also noted as being around the sheepfold and quarry. A large area of rig and furrow is visible on RCAHMS aerial photograph mosaics from 1946 (NT25NE, Midlothian). The sheepfold and quarry lie to the east of Fullarton Water, outwith the survey area. The extensive area of rig and furrow cultivation is visible running up to the east bank of the Fullarton Water. Field survey identified only slight traces of the recorded rig and furrow cultivation, being best preserved at its southern extent and surviving as 0.2m-0.3m high rigs with a wavelength of 5m. A denuded section of turf bank measuring approximately 30m long by 0.7m-0.8m wide and 0.2m was identified bordering the southwestern extent of the visible rig and furrow. 57 Quarry 328182 656115 Field Survey Field survey identified a rectangular grass-covered cut, possibly an adit, into a southwest Local None No Effect No Effect facing bank of Fullarton Burn. The cut measures 10m by 4m by 1.2m-1.4m deep. 58 Rig and Furrow 327996 655425 Aerial Photographs; Two large areas of rig and furrow are visible on satellite imagery (GoogleTM), in areas of Local None No Effect No Effect Field Survey slightly improved ground. Field survey identified two areas of denuded rig roughly aligned east-west, and measuring 0.2m-0.3m high with a wavelength of 4m. 59 Structure (possible 328245 655902 Field Survey Field survey identified the remains of a drystone walled rectangular structure revetted Local None No Effect No Effect building) into a slight slope and immediately adjacent to a farmers track. The structure measures 13m by 4m by 0.6m-0.8m deep, defined by a wall measuring 0.6m wide and six courses deep in places. The structure has been truncated by a burn or drainage which runs under the farmer’s track. 60 Sheep fold 327928 656234 Historic maps; Aerial A circular sheep fold is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854). A U- Local None No effect No Effect Photographs shaped building attached to a triangular enclosure is shown in the same location on the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map (1895). The Ordnance Survey 3rd Edition map (1909) depicts an unroofed L-shaped building or enclosure, attached to a small square enclosure and the same triangular enclosure as that shown on the 2nd Edition map. A similar layout is shown on the current (2001) Ordnance Survey map and the structure is annotated as ‘sheepfold’. The sheepfold is visible on modern satellite imagery (GoogleTM) as a roofed L-shaped structure with the same layout as shown on the current 2001 map. 61 Gravel pits 327825 656039 Historic maps; Aerial A small quarry annotated ‘Gravel Pit’ (61a) (327825, 656039) is depicted on the Lesser None No Effect No Effect Photographs Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (1854).

The Gibsone estate belonged to the Gibsones from the 17th century until it was sold this century by Lt Col Hugh Gibsone. The headstones in the churchyard are varied and numerous and span more than three centuries. The walls were rebuilt in the 18th century and it seems, from the cut and dressed nature of some of the stone, that it might have come from the demolished Pentland Church nearby. The HER and the RCAHMS record that Arnold (1880) describes that a raised grassy mound in the churchyard covers the ruins of Pentland parish church, while he considered a smaller mound to the east covered the chancel. Stripping some turf from the latter, he uncovered two 14th century grave slabs. Aitchison (1892) notes that the foundations of the church were uncovered a few years before 1892. The church yard was still in use in 1907. Pentland chapel is noted as a free parsonage in Bagimond; it was erected into a parish church before 1275, and the parish was united with Lasswade in 1647.
The HER and the RCAHMS database also record that in 2009 (Connelly, 2009), Edinburgh Archaeological Field Society undertook a geophysical survey at Old Pentland Church, Damhead. The work consisted of resistivity survey and later test trench excavation, which identified the remains of the church which once stood in the graveyard but was demolished at some point in the late 18th or early 19th century. Medieval pottery (14th-16th century) was recovered and evidence for wall robbing, which may have taken place in the 18th century. Later archaeological investigation (Connelly, 2010) found further evidence of medieval activity (12th-15th centuries) and later robbing, together with evidence for a 19th-century path and graves whose stones had been removed to allow the construction of the path. A graveyard, small building and vault are depicted and annotated on the Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map (Edinburghshire, sheet 12, 1854), associated with Pentland Village (76). The graveyard, building and vault are still depicted on subsequent Editions (Edinburghshire, sheet VII.SE, 1895; 1908; 1915).

The HER also records that Kerr (1996) describes that substantial concrete machinery plinths are situated on the east side of the A701 opposite Mid-Straiton Cottages. These have been identified by Kerr as machinery foundations for the Clippens Oil Company's No. 7 oil-shale mine to the Dunnet Seam. The Clippens Oil Company produced oil at Pentland and Straiton 1881-1897. The company closed in 1897 when it was discovered that Edinburgh and district water supply pipes were under threat from the mine workings.

The 1974, 1983 and 1992 maps annotate the works as ‘Pre-cast Concrete Works’ and show two areas of waste dumping, one immediately to the north of the public road. The 2002 Ordnance Survey map (Ordnance Survey Digital Data archive) shows only the outline of the former works, annotated ‘Refuse tip’.
