While walking look for things you like and don’t like on the trail and write these down or take pictures of them. 3. Remember to mark down on the map where you took your photographs and write down why you decided to take a photograph of each thing. 4. If you have disposable cameras remember you only have a limited number of photos so try to use them all but not too quickly. If you have a digital camera you can make this challenge harder by making a maximum photograph limit. 5. Once you have your pictures printed each group should stick them around a copy of the map which shows where they were taken and write what they liked/didn’t. 6. Discuss these with the other groups and find out if there are similarities or differences. Think about what we could do to change the things you did not like. Would these changes be suitable to put in the World Heritage Site? Green Map Treasure Hunt Every time you take a picture you should mark on the map where you took it and write down what it is. 1. Take a picture of an eco friendly form of transport. 2. Take a picture of a building that looks like it would be warm to live in during winter. 3. Take a picture of something that could be recycled. 4. Take a picture of a wild animal. 5. Can you find something that has been changed to a building to make it more sustainable? Take a picture of it. 6. Take a picture of something you think makes Edinburgh special. Edinburgh World Heritage, 5 Bakehouse Close, Edinburgh EH8 8DD. T: 0131 220 7720 www.ewht.org.uk.

The boundary includes Fettes College, Inverleith Park, the Royal Botanic Garden, Warriston Cemetery and Tanfield.

A conservation area character appraisal was published in 2006, and a management plan in 2010. The Stockbridge Colonies were removed from the Inverleith Conservation Area boundary in 2013 to form a separate conservation area.

  • The Register of Burials in the Churchyard of Restalrig 1728
    lifelii p" I (SCOTTISH RECORD SOCIETY, INDEX TO THE REGISTER OF BURIALS IN THE CHURCHYARD OF RESTALRIG, 1728-1854. c EDITED BY FRANCIS J. GRANT, W.S., ROTHESAY HERALD AND LYON CLERK.- EDINBURGH : t) hos PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY 1908. EDINBURGH: PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER ANU COMPANY. 54- PREFACE. The village of Restalrig is situated in the parish of South Leith and on the eastern outskirts of the city of Edinburgh. It is a place of great antiquity, and in pre-Reformation times its collegiate church was the parish church of Leith. At the Reformation the church, which was dedicated to St. Triduana, was ordered by the General Assembly to be -razed and utterly cast down as a monument of idolatry, and the parishioners ordained to repair to St. Mary's Church at Leith, a sentence which was only too faithfully carried out. The edifice remained a ruin till the year 1836, when the present chapel of ease was constructed out of its remains. Though ceasing to be a place of worship after 1560, the churchyard continued to be a place of sepulchre, and after the disestablish- ment of Episcopacy in 1689 was used by the members of that body as a place of burial when denied the right to conduct service in other places. In 1726, with the sanction of John, Lord Balmerino, and James, Lord Coupar, his son, the proprietors of the Barony, the Friendly Society of Restalrig was constituted, and to its care the ruined church and church- yard were made over. The first members of this Society were Messrs.
