This is a cross-county sheet — Sheet XLIX North-West for Dumfriesshire combined with part of Kirkcudbrightshire (New Series) Sheet XXI — from the County Series Second Edition, originally published in 1900.
This sheet captures Colinton and Fairmilehead just before the Edinburgh City Bypass, before Hillend Country Park was developed, and before much of the modern housing west of Oxgangs and Colinton Mains existed.
The sheet covers a fascinating slice of country on the western edge of Edinburgh, including the villages of Kirknewton, Wilkieston, Burnwynd and Bonnington, the East Calder District, and Currie and Ratho parishes.
Reservoirs (including Torduff and Clubbiedean), old quarries, sheepfolds and the Pentland Hills District boundary are all clearly shown. This sheet covers a fascinating slice of Edinburgh and Midlothian.
The original price of 7/- net is still printed in the lower margin. A genuinely useful map for anyone researching the social and topographical history of southwest Edinburgh in the 1950s, a Pentland Hills walker, a local-history enthusiast, a Colinton or Fairmilehead resident with an interest in how the area has changed, or a collector of mid-century Ordnance Survey large-scale sheets.
Revised in 1898–99. Reprint 40/12″ in the bottom margin, dating the printing precisely to 1900. ESTIMATED DATE 1900 (printed 1900; sheet revised 1898–99 from the 1856 original survey). Honestly graded as Fair.
The sheet shows north-west Edinburgh and stretches out into the Firth of Forth. Areas you’ll find on this map include Granton (with Granton Harbour, the Western Breakwater, Eastern Breakwater, Middle Pier, Granton Station and the Lighthouse and Clock Tower clearly drawn), Wardie, Trinity, Bangholm, Goldenacre, Inverleith — including the Royal Botanic Garden & Arboretum and Inverleith Park — as well as Pilton, Drylaw, Muirhouse, Davidson’s Mains and the surrounding farmland to the west, with the County of the City of Edinburgh and Midlothian boundaries plainly indicated.
