Geocache Description:


Quartermile in Edinburgh is a modern mixed‑use district built on the historic site of the former Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, whose nineteenth‑century hospital buildings once dominated the area. The redevelopment, which began in 2004, transformed the 7–8‑hectare site into a blend of restored Victorian structures and contemporary architecture, creating homes, offices, and public spaces while preserving nine listed buildings. Its name reflects its location roughly a quarter mile from both Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile.

 

The Quartermile development named its main residential street Simpson Loan in honour of Sir James Young Simpson, a local Scottish obstetrician. The first physician to demonstrate the anaesthetic properties of chloroform on humans, especially the benefits of anaesthesia to childbirth.

 

This one should be a nice easy one to get you started. Be stealthy.
