• Map of Allotment Sites in Edinburgh

AFFILIATED SITES

In 1960 there were over 40 allotments sites in Edinburgh.

At the beginning of 2001 there were 23, going down to 22 with the closure of Hawkhill that year.

In 2006, Bridgend Farm the site that replaced Hawkhill was opened with 62 plots. This is some progress, but with 900 people on the Council waiting list, it is far from meeting the demand for plots. If you are on the waiting list, why not ask your local councillor when more sites will be opened?

In the current frenzy of development within Edinburgh, where the tiniest plot of land is sought for building flats or offices, there may well be threats to other sites.

If you hear even the faintest suggestion that your site is being assessed for sale, please contact us as soon as possible.

Below, organised alphabetically, is a list of Council run allotments and another of independent sites.

Have a look at some of the sites.

There is a greater number of sites in some parts of the city than others and it is the number of plots in an area which more accurately reflects the level of provision.
