I'll add a photo of
the Sick Children's Hospital to this page when I have one.
It should not be difficult to take one, but it may take a little
longer to find the time to add it to the web site.
However, I've created
this page now so that I can include a question that I was asked
recently. |

Air Raid Shelter
"I'm writing a book (a work of
fiction) and there is one fact I am desperately trying to
establish but I can't find any allusion to it! Can you
help?
I am trying to establish whether there
was an air raid shelter at the Sick Kids Hospital in Sciennes. I
see from the scan of air raid shelter maps on your site that there
were shelters on Sciennes Road, but I'm hazy as to where they were
or what sort of shelters they might have been.
Would you be able to point me in the
direction of someone who might know?"

don't know the answer to the question that Isla asks. If you
think you might be able to help her to answer the question,
please
email me, then I'll give you her email address so that you can
contact her.
Thank you.

Air Raid Shelters
"The only shelters I know of in
Sciennes Road, Edinburgh, were in the playground of Sciennes
School, next doort o the Sick Kids' Hospital.
There may also have been shelters in
the grounds of the hospital itself, but I can't remember any.
There were also shelter on the edge of
the Meadows, on the other side of Melville Drive."
