Description

Old Currie, Balerno & Juniper Green is an illustrated history of three areas of west Edinburgh, featuring 53 rare period photographs taken in the days when each was a village in its own right and not just a suburb of the city. This collection showcases the unique character of these local communities as they were in the past. The book presents a fascinating glimpse into the lives of people living in Old Currie, Balerno & Juniper Green during their heyday as separate villages. The photographs, taken at various times between 1880 and 1936, capture the everyday scenes, landscapes, and architecture of these areas before they became part of Edinburgh's suburbs. With its unique blend of historical images and local insight, Old Currie, Balerno & Juniper Green is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of west Edinburgh.
