Statement of Interest

A simple, but attractive building standing in a prominent position at the entrance to the cemetery, and between St Cuthbert's Church and the bridge. At www.scran.ac.uk the RCAHMS date the building to about 1811. It was originally the schoolmaster's house for Colinton school, which occupied the building at 2 Woodhall Road (built 1815). There had been an earlier school between the church and the manse, which was demolished in the early nineteenth century due to disrepair. The cemetery occupies the former site of Spylaw Mill, which was demolished in 1916.
