With almost 100 buildings and structures recognised for their historical or cultural
significance*, Colinton offers a rich collection of places to explore.
As you walk or drive through Colinton, take a fresh look at the buildings around you.
Each one has a story to tell: How old is it?, Who lived there?, What was it used for? and
Who built it?
This new book from the Colinton Local History Society explores the area’s many
interesting buildings and structures, from castles and great houses to villas; from
churches to alms houses; from monuments to bridges. All have their story.
If you want to learn more about the village you live in, start by looking around you.
