Summary
| Description |
English: Lochend Park -- View over the loch, looking towards Arthur's Seat in the distance. The 16thC bee-hive doocot in the foreground belonged to the Logans of Restalrig who acquired the land in 1382 and lived in Lochend Castle on a nearby crag. In the 1950s, local children were warned that the loch was 'bottomless', having swallowed an entire horse and cart which disappeared without trace - presumably an urban myth aimed at scaring children away from the obvious danger; the loch was unfenced until well into the 1960s. Enjoy the view while it lasts, because new high-rise developments are slowly beginning to encroach upon the surrounding ground. |
