Recent History On the Muirhouse Recollections page, over the past 18 months several people have remembered the 'Eagle Gates' that once stood at the top of West Granton Road at the end of a long drive leading to Muirhouse Mansion on Marine Drive. The gate posts were ten feet high, each surmounted by a griffin. These were demolished around 1960. Until now, nobody had been able to find a photo of these gates to add to the EdinPhoto web site.. However John Dickson has now found one which accompanied an article in The Scotsman published on June 19, 1946 Thank you John. |

Housing for Disabled ex-Servicemen he article referred to a memorial stone to be laid by the King, ten days later, on a plot of land at Muirhouse on which 90 houses were to be built for disabled ex-Servicemen by the Scottish Veterans' Garden City Association. |
