The Unsolved Mystery of Gilmerton Cove | Edinburgh's Most Highly Rated Tourist Attraction
Thanks for watching...
Gilmerton Cove is a series of underground passageways and chambers hand-carved from sandstone located beneath the streets of Gilmerton, an ex-mining village, now a southeastern suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland.
A five-year collaborative project between Gilmerton Heritage Trust and The City of Edinburgh Council allowed the newly restored Cove to open in 2003 as an educational resource for the community as well as a place to visit.
There are many theories about the origins of the Cove and its purpose. It is known that it was the 18th century residence of local blacksmith, George Paterson. The parish records show that he was reprimanded for allowing alcohol to be consumed within the Cove on the sabbath. It is not known whether Paterson was responsible for carving the Cove.
In 1769 Thomas Pennant mentions the site in the context of Newbattle Abbey saying that In the woods adjacent to this seat are some subterraneous (sic) apartments and passages cut out of the live rock: they seem to have been excavated by the ancient inhabitants of the country either as receptacles for their provisions, or a retreat for themselves and families in time of war, in the same manner, as Tacitus relates, as was customary with the old Germans.

Edinburgh, Scotland.
A very ancient land, with a castle built upon an extinct volcano.
Many mysterious things lay and possible live within Scotland.
The most famous of which undoubtedly the extremely illusive loch ness monster.
However, recent surveys would suggest that among the most popularly of attractions, are in fact its vast collection of, to the well-trained eye… Extremely ancient coves and cave systems.
Hand cut, these caverns will demonstrate the immense skill, determination, and of course ingenuity, of our distant ancestors, revealing to all those who are lucky enough to visit them just what these ancient people were capable of.
And hidden behind a modest door on Drum Street in Gilmerton… Is quite possibly the most incredible network of them all… Underground passageways, large perfectly carved chambers, benches, tables, and even a small chapel.
All painstakingly hewn from solid stone by hand.
And thankfully, due to their popular attraction with tourists, often the explorers amongst us, many open-minded individuals have often been left with a sense of discomposure, regarding the officially upheld explanation for their origins. As such, and rather predictably, many alternative theories, often involving a far more ancient origin for the Cove and its purpose now abound.
The mass regurgitated view regarding the construction, would suggest that a blacksmith by the name of George Paterson, who actually resided within the cove within the 18th century, somehow created them alone, by hand, and within a mere 5-year period.
With even George himself claiming to have cut this extensive, elaborate, and unquestionably enigmatic underground structure using simple hand tools.
Since the claims 3 centuries ago however… Numerous holes have been seemingly discovered within this popularly upheld sequence of events. Fuelling the already prevalent suspicions within sceptic parties, of an commonly attempted method of concealing a far more impressive, and indeed vastly more intriguing reality surrounding this cove system, maybe in an attempt to hide its true antiquity, as we experience so often during our research.
On Wednesday the 15th of August 1906, a front-page column by a writer known as F R Coles for The Scotsman, the Scotsman being the notable advocate in revealing the inconsistencies within these mainstream, academic explanations, dug into George Paterson’s version of events – commonly referred to as ‘The Tradition’. Coles Found it to have been nothing but a fictional fallacy, possibly created by George himself In an attempt to profit from deception.
Coles, who was also once Assistant Keeper of the National Museum of Antiquities, considers the legitimacy of Paterson’s claim, in his writing: quote, “So remarkable a feat as the hewing-out of a series of chambers in solid rock, and the dwelling therein of a blacksmith and his family, would surely help to keep green the record of the man who performed it. “But the Parish records are silent, and locally, nothing more is known of Paterson.” End quote.
It seems Patterson not only accomplished the seemingly impossible, excavating hundreds of tons of stone, then additionally disposing of said stone, but also it seems, he successfully went unnoticed by the entire surrounding population, during this entire procedure …
In revisiting the Gilmerton cave with a 20th Century perspective, The Scotsman’s current writers outlaid more than a century of theories, accumulated from an array of sources, all attempting to explain the Gilmerton Coves mysterious origins, age and purpose.
The most chosen hypothesis now conveyed by Rosslyn Tours at the Cove, is that Paterson Merely stumbled upon the cave, subsequently using it himself.
Just who could have built Gilmerton cove?
When was it built?...
Why did they build it?
With modern radar scans of the surrounding area indicating that even more systems lay close by, still undiscovered… Possibly isolated by ancient cave-ins, you have to wonder, could the Gilmerton cove be far older, and originally far grander in extensively larger than anyone today could have ever possibly imagined…
Will we ever solve the mystery of Gilmerton cove? It seems, only time will tell.
The Mystery of Gilmerton Cove
Did one man really dig out this intriguing cave with his bare hands? We brave the subterranean cove 10 feet below the Edinburgh suburb's streets with Rosslyn Tours owner Margaretanne Dugan. Who dug out Gilmerton Cove and what was it used for?

Gilmerton Cove
Gilmerton Cove, Gilmerton, Edinburgh, Scotland.
These caves were hand-carved from solid sandstone. Nobody knows who carved them, or why.
There are several chambers, some containing tables and chairs carved out of the sandstone. Some of these show evidence of having had doors hung in the entranceway.
There is evidence, mostly graffiti, of the Cove being used by the Knights Templar, the Covenanters and the Masons. It is also rumoured to have been used by the Edinburgh branch of London's Hellfire Club. In the 18th Century, it was inhabited by a blacksmith named George Paterson. Paterson is thought to be buried in one of the unexplored caves, and his ghost haunts the caves. Another of the unexplored caves is thought to stretch as far as Craigmillar Castle, a mile or so to the north east, where a similar set of caves are known to exist.
The caves are also thought to have been used by witches. One of the rooms contains a sacrificial table, and a stone referred to as Jacob's Pillow - though it looks nothing like the Stone of Destiny in Edinburgh Castle.
A Cove is Scots for Cave. These caves are several miles inland, and 40 metres above sea level. Entrance is via an old miners cottage on Drum Street, Gilmerton.
