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.
