Old travel Blog photograph of South Colinton located South West of the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. Originally sited within a steep sided glen on a convenient fording point on the Water of Leith, and expanding from there, Colinton's history dates back to before the 11th century. Robert Louis Stevenson spent the summers of his childhood at the manse in Colinton when his grandfather was the village's Parish Minister; the philanthropist James Gillespie; and architects Sir Robert Rowand Anderson and John James Burnet, all lived in the village.
