How Craigmillar’s rise will help transform Edinburgh’s success

How Craigmillar’s rise will help transform Edinburgh’s success

My first memories of Craigmillar came from the passenger seat of dad’s car when we visited granny in Newcraighall every Saturday morning. At that time in the late 60s Newcraighall was run down, and the smouldering pit bing was an ugly reminder of the Klondyke Mine that had by then closed. Craigmillar in contrast didn’t look run down. The highlight of the return journey was stopping off for an ice cream at Luca’s on the corner of Niddrie Mains Road and Craigmillar Castle Road on the way back.
