Juniper Green

Juniper Green is a village on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Scotland, situated about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) south-west of the city centre.

Traditionally, its major industries were paper and snuff set in the river valley of the Water of Leith.

The opportunity was also taken to record locals' reminiscences and collect photographs, which have been archived on the Juniper Green Village Association website.

[3] The original (designed in 1910 by John Alexander Carfrae) was closed in the mid 2010s with a new school built in adjacent land.

This volunteer-led “local community news magazine” (available in print and as a downloadable PDF) cover Juniper Green as well as neighbouring Balerno, Currie, Baberton Mains and Colinton.

[8] A bespoke edition of the “lifestyle and community magazine” Konect is delivered to households in Balerno and neighbouring Currie, Juniper Green, Baberton Mains and Ratho.

Juniper Green Conservation Area is situated 7 miles (11 kilometres) to the west of Edinburgh around the main Lanark Road.
