Welcome to Warriston Allotments

The 119 plots at Warriston, a large south facing site on the north side of Edinburgh, were created for unemployed families during the depression of the late 1920s.

Thanks to the city's allotment policy the land continues to be dedicated to a wide and welcoming community of local growers who rent full or half plots on a yearly basis. The waiting list for Warriston is currently 8 years—see City of Edinburgh Council allotment information.

​Warriston plot holders can get in touch with ideas & contributions for the website, and to ask questions about Warriston site, while all website visitors are welcome to comment. Contact is via the Warriston contact form

Plot holder's latest

• Water taps have been switched on! 
• The communal area will remain covered until autumn to ensure weed removal.
• The bins are being emptied at last. Please do NOT dump rubbish in the car park area or overfill the bin. 
• Next committee meeting Sunday 17 June at 1pm in the cottage.
• The Warriston Plant Sale took place on Sunday and the sun shone! We made £300 for Warriston developments. More on that soon.
