Hi Frances, Stuart & others,
I have a feeling Gorgie Mains may have been around
the Wardlaw area. I don't think it was Chesser Avenue/
Slateford Road. ( I may be wrong if it was early Edinburgh.)
I lived around that area as a child.
My grandparents lived in Hutchison Medway.
Will be interesting to find out.

>> Can anyone give me a clue where Gorgie Mains is or was. I've an excellent map of Britain down to street level but can't find it on there, so am I to assume it's no longer called by that name. I believe it's in the St Cuthberts parish of Edinburgh.
