More about Craiglockhart Edinburgh Scotland
Craiglockhart is a suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland,
lying between Colinton to the west and Morningside and
Merchiston to the east.
The area was developed in the 1930s around the Easter
and Wester Craiglockhart Hills. The name appears to be
an anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic, Creag Loch ?d
or Art, meaning the "Rock of the High Loch", or
"Arthur's Loch", which may refer to a former loch in the
golf course.
The area was home to the Craiglockhart Hydropathic, a
hospital which is now part of the campus of Napier
University. During World War One, the hospital was used
to house officers suffering from the symptoms of
shell-shock, including poets Wilfred Owen and Siegfried
Sassoon, who was sent there after protesting about the
continuance of the war (and who probably did not have
shell-shock). After this the building served as a
convent and then a theological school before passing to
the then Napier College.
Approximately at the boundary point between
Craiglockhart and Merchiston, there runs the suburban
railway line. There was once a station just off Colinton
Road, and this may return, since the line is mooted for
re-opening as part of Edinburgh's future transport
strategy.
Craiglockhart today is chiefly residential, with a small
proportion of commercial properties, and is in general
considered to be a comfotable middle-class area, with a
mixture of terraced and detatched villas, of a vartiety
of ages.
Craiglockhart Tennis Centre plays host to large
international tennis competitions, with a series of well
kept indoor and outdoor courts, as well as the slowest
elevator know to mankind in its main building. On the
same ground is Craiglockhart Sport And Leisure Centre
which is generally less well maintained, but does
however have a small boating pond.
Happy Valley presents some of the only shops within the
Craiglockhart area, consisting of an art gallery yet no
video rental store, a feature the area is greatly
lacking.
There is a Craiglockhart Primary School, although this
is a little to the north of the area itself, and would
be considered by residents to be within Polwarth.
