J Hewit & Sons I last visited J Hewit & Sons as a working concern in 2006. The company was then planning to close down, and was expecting the premises and land to be sold for development. Returning to the site last week, this is all that remained, looking down on the old site and across the Water of Leith to the Pentland Hills. The sign reads: 'J HEWIT & SONS LTD. KINAULD LEATHER WORKS'. |

Potato picking (or 'Tattie Howking' was how many of Edinburgh's schoolchildren used to spend their mid-term autumn holidays.
The last time I saw potatos being gathered this way was beside the newly built Edinburgh Bypass at Swanston in 1991.

The farm is on the edge of the the Pentland
Hills, about 1 mile SW of Torphin

the wild west!

Waddell's Garage
Date?
Here is the same view as above, but a few decades earlier when the garage was 'The Colinton Motor Garage'
Might the flags be celebrating the 1937 Coronation? By the time of World War II or earlier, this garage had become Waddell Bros

Another Colinton Garage
I have been told that this garage was where the Chemist's Shop now stands. Is that somewhere around Bridge Road.
When might this photo have been taken? Perhaps it was taken some time in the 1950s.
The garage sold petrol and Standard Vanguard cars. These cars were manufactured between 1947 and 1963.
