Description

Although the growth and development of suburban Edinburgh has resulted in many small communities being lost to progress, a surprising number of old villages within the city have retained their character and independence. In this second volume Malcolm Cant turns his attention to the villages on the south side of the city and traces the histories of Burdiehouse and Straiton: once famous for limestone and shale. Colinton: the home of James Gillespie. Gilmerton: for the Cove, the Cross and the Drum. Juniper Green: busy hinterland to the valley of the mills. Liberton: ancient Christian community. Longstone and Slateford: criss-crossed by road, rail and water transport. Morningside: pleasantly swamped by suburbia. Swanston: clinging to the memory of R.L.S.
