Scope and Content Duddingston Loch, Duddingston, Edinburgh, looking east towards the village church Duddingston is a small and compact village built around a church founded in the 12th century. It lies in the shelter of Arthur's Seat, just outside the boundary of Holyrood Park, in a quiet rural setting on the shores of Duddingston Loch. The distinctive roof-line of the church forms the focal point of the village. The loch, fringed by reed beds that provide a natural habitat for wildlife, was once a popular place for curling, and an octagonal curling house stands at the water's edge. The octagonal-shaped curling house was designed in 1823 by the architect, William Playfair, for the Duddingston Curling Society who made him an honorary member to show their appreciation. The club, formed in 1795, still exists today. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
