Muirhouse

[4] This second Muirhouse Mansion building remains, and is located north of the current Edinburgh caravan and motorhome campsite, on Marine Parade.

[5] Two 50 ft (15 m) high towers that were part of the original Muirhouse were still standing at the time work began on the housing development, but these were demolished in 1954 after they became unsafe.

Although the policy helped to increase private home ownership, it is also responsible for the drastic reduction in social housing stock.

The website Granton History provides a link to a 1953 map which indicates the proposed layout of the initial Muirhouse housing estate.

The Edinburgh Evening News compiled a short article documenting the history of the estate, including twenty two pictures from the area in the 1950s and 1960s.

Particularly during the 1980s when the Muirhouse housing estate, and its residents were blighted by drug addiction, crime, Anti-social behaviour and HIV/AIDS.

The City of Edinburgh Council have undertaken the long term Pennywell and Muirhouse Regeneration Project.

[16] An initial part of the Pennywell and Muirhouse redevelopment project has included relocation and replacement of the Craigroyston Community High School, from its original location at the Southern end of Pennywell Road to the Northern end of this road, in 2010.
