Scope and Content Colinton cottages, Colinton, Edinburgh The old village of Colinton lies in the valley of the Water of Leith to the south-west of Edinburgh. The village grew up around the ancient church of Hailes, founded c.1095, and for centuries prospered as a milling settlement on the banks of the river. These two single-storeyed stone cottages, one with a pantiled roof and single chimney, stand on a steep slope overlooking the Water of Leith. Built in the early 19th century to house mill-workers, they formed part of the old village community. The village, grouped around a steep slope leading down to the river, had at its heart the parish church, the school, the mills, and an old bridge and ford across the river, the later forming part of an ancient route from the Pentland Hills to the sea.
