Old travel Blog photograph of children outside cottages at the old village of Cross in Corstorphine, Edinburgh, Scotland. Although now a suburb of Edinburgh, Corstorphine was originally an agricultural village separated from the city by open countryside. There were really two villages, each of which retains its character: the old village was located a short distance south of the present main road, and the new or high village developed on the route of St John’s Road, the traditional main road from Edinburgh to Glasgow. As Edinburgh grew outwards the village was incorporated within the administrative area of the city in 1920 and since then housing developments pushing towards Corstorphine have completed the process of absorption.
