Allotment Sites

  • The old site at Balgreen

    Balgreen

    This site was closed in the late 1990s in preparation for a light rapid transport scheme. Now it's partly used as a storage area for the trams project. It is likely to be sold for housing. FEDAGA is hoping that extensions to Stevenson Drive and Carrick Knowe allotments will go some way to compensate for this loss. However, it sat derelict for a decade.

  • Potager plots

    Dean Gallery

    This small site was once the kitchen garden to the orphans home once housed in what is now the Dean Gallery. It is independently managed. Huts are not allowed but plot holders have access to the large brick-built shed adorned with Ian Hamilton Findlay artwork, surely accommodation superior to anywhere else in Edinburgh.

  • On Guard!

    Wester Hailes

    An independently managed site bisected by a road linking Westburn and Baberton Mains. The majority is City of Edinburgh Council land; the westernmost section is privately owned. As this site is not subject to restrictive Council by-laws a thriving shed culture has flourished.
