One of a series of caches set to coincide with the 300th
anniversary of the first written record of Juniper Green in the
Colinton Parish records (Nov 18th 1707), and the Water of Leith
2007 cache in Trash out event. Juniper Green has its own web site
www.junipergreen.org.uk with lots of
information and pictures, from which some of this information is
taken.
Curriemuir Mill (also known as Curriemuirend Mill, Woodhall
Grain Mill, and more recently Inglis' Grain Mill) was established
in 1704 as a grain mill named Denham's Mill, and was still drying
seed and grain until 2001. It has now been demolished to make way
for housing. The Water of Leith walkway was diverted away from the
line of the old railway when the houses were built, and now follows
the edge of the river.
The Water of Leith Walkway is very well used, so please take
care of muggles. The cache is a large micro, or small small one
(big enough for geocoins!). Take your pick! The LRT and First bus
No 44 run along Lanark Road close to the cache.
