Dr Neil's Garden Duddingston Village near Edinburgh Scotland
If you make your way to the foot of Arthur's Seat just by Duddingston Loch and pass the old kirk then you might miss out on Dr. Neil's Garden. Unless you are looking for this secret garden you can pass close by and never know what wonders you have wandered past. In 1965 Drs. Andrew and Nancy Neil set about turning a waste ground into what is now an idyllic haven. Their hard efforts have won rich rewards that are openly available for us all to share. Make sure that you take time to look in on this hidden gem.

Cramond, Edinburgh.
The Cramond area has a long history, with evidence of Mesolithic, Bronze Age and Roman activity. In modern times, it was the birthplace of the Scottish economist John Law (1671-1729). Cramond was incorporated into the City of Edinburgh by Act of Parliament in 1920.
Archaeological excaations at Cramond have uncovered evidence of habitation dating to around 8500 BC, making it, for a time, the earliest known site of human settlement in Scotland.
The inhabitants of the Mesolithic camp-site were nomadic hunter-gatherers who moved around their territories according to the season of the year. Although no bones survived the acid soil, waste pits and stakeholes that would have supported shelters or windbreaks were excavated. Numerous discarded hazelnut shells, the waste product of the inhabitants' staple food, were found in the pits and used to carbon-date the site. It is thought the site was chosen for its location near the junction of the Firth of forth and the River Almond, where the rich oyster and mussel beds proved a reliable natural resource. Many microlith stone tools manufactured at the site were found, and pre-date finds of similar style in England.
Cramond developed slowly over the centuries with Cramond Kirk being founded in 1656. After a brief period spent as an industrial village in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, by the late 19th century it became a desirable suburb of Edinburgh, which it remains to this day.

The Great Deception - William Comyns Beaumont- Joppa The Biblical Port of Edinburgh Jerusalem
Music - The Wee Magic Stane by Robin Hall and Jimmy MacGregor
At the west end of Portobello there is a road of Roman origin, known to-day as the Fishwives’ Causeway, though, of course, it would not be so named in Roman times. This ancient road has for many long years formed part of the boundary between the parishes of Duddingston and South Leith. It is called a causeway because it was a causewayed road, as all Roman roads were, its stones being mostly boulders from the seashore close at hand, and quite undressed by the Roman work-men who laid them. When the present Portobello Road was made about 1770, the fishwives of Fisherrow, on their way to Edinburgh to dispose of their fish, continued to favour the old causewayed road in preference to the new; hence the name Fishwives’ Causeway. It is a causeway no longer, its stones having been lifted and utilized in the construction of the great wall enclosing the Craigentinny parks on the left side of the turnpike road from Wheatfield to Portobello, where their round boulder shape at once betrays them.
Joppa is an eastern suburb of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. It is bounded on the north by the coast of the Firth of Forth, on the west by Portobello of which it was a suburb when Portobello was a burgh, to the south by the open area south of Milton Road and to the east by Musselburgh in East Lothian. The name Joppa appears in the late 18th century and is of uncertain origin. One possibility is from the coastal Biblical town of Joppa (a latinization of its 4th century Greek name Ἰόππη); this is now known as Israeli city of Yafo or Jaffa.
Joppa today is called Yaffa (Jafa) and is a suburb of Tel Aviv, 32.8 miles as the crow flies from Jerusalem. It is written that the pillars of the Temple could be seen from Tel Aviv, due to the Temple Mount raising the structure above the line of sight of the hills between there and the coast. Modern Yafa is built on a rocky mound, 116 ft. high, at the edge of the sea.Yafa is a prosperous town, profiting much by the annual streams of pilgrims who pass through it on their way to visit the holy places. Trade passes through the port to this day, with ships arriving from Egypt, Syria, and Constantinople.
Old Photographs Dailly South Ayrshire Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Dailly, Scottish Gaelic: Dail Mhaol Chiarain, a village in South Ayrshire. This Scottish village was laid out in the 1760s as a coal mining village. In 1849 a fire broke out in Dalquharran Colliery, one of the nearby mines, and continued to burn for 50 years. Hew Ainslie, Scottish Poet, was born on 5 April 1792 in the parish of Dailly. After a fair education, he became a clerk in Glasgow, a landscape gardener in his native district, and a clerk in the Register House, Edinburgh. In 1822, being then ten years married to his cousin, Ainslie emigrated to America, where he continued to live with varied fortune for the rest of his days, paying a short visit to Scotland in 1864. Upon travelling to the New World, he was attracted to Robert Owen's social system in New Harmony, Indiana, but after a short trial he connected himself with a firm of brewers; his name is associated with the establishment of various breweries, mills, and factories in the Western States. He died in Louisville, 11 March 1878. Reverend John Thomson, born on 1 September 1778 in the manse at Dailly, was a Scottish minister of the Church of Scotland and noted amateur landscape painter. He was the minister of Duddingston Kirk from 1805 to 1840. Thomson died at Duddingston in 1840, having spent 41 years in the ministry. Anne Hepburn was born in Dailly on 20 August 1925, she was a Church of Scotland missionary and a teacher, feminist and social justice advocate and wife and mother. Her mother died when she was a child of eighteen months, and she grew up with her blacksmith father, who was also a church elder. She went onto study at Glasgow University, before training as a teacher at Jordanhil. In 1950 Anne Burton was sent to Malawi, then called Nyasaland, as headmistress of a mission primary school for girls. Anne Hepburn eventually settled in Kirkcudbright, Dumfries & Galloway, where her husband Hamish became minister. She died on 29 July 2016.
