Echo Bank, Newington

I have not found any reference to Echo Bank in recent books.

However, Cassell's Old & New Edinburgh by James Grant, published c.1890, from which the engraving above is taken, refers twice to Echo Bank.

The second of these gives the approximate location of Echo Bank:   about 1/3 mile NW of Cameron Toll.

"The year 1800 saw the whole locality [Newington] open and arable fields, save where stood the old houses of Mayfield at the Mayfield Loan, a few cottages at Echo Bank, ant others at Powburn."
[Vol 3:  p.50]

"Proceeding along the old Dalkeith Road, near Echo Bank, a gate and handsome lodge lead to Newington Cemetery, with a terrace and line of vaults."
