Welcome to Warriston Allotments
The 121 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 ongoing allotment policy, urban land (there are over 30 separate sites), continues to be dedicated to local growers renting plots on a yearly basis. The waiting time for a plot at Warriston is least 8 years—if you would like to put your name on the list, or find out more, go to City of Edinburgh Council allotment information. Please do NOT contact Warriston re renting a plot—contact Edinburgh City Council to put your name of the waiting list. The contact form is for Warriston plot holders only, for the sharing of ideas/enquiries/contributions. We cannot reply to any outside enquiries. |
Site news:Fires: From now until April.

Check cottage blackboard for dates of upcoming Sunday 1 to 3pm shredding sessions. Bin: Please DO NOT overfill the bin. Keep your rubbish on your plot (NOT next to the bin) until there is room. We've been having issues to do with collection routes which have recently been resolved. Winter season 2024: Tidy up, shred, shred, shred. Go organic and enjoy our insect life!

Warriston Allotments Association
This year's Association AGM was a great success. Thanks to the committee for organising, to all those who made reports and to everyone who came along. Thanks also to Andy Jarman who enlightened us on the wonders of wasps—another insect we should learn to love. After 8 years in the post, Alice stepped down as chair with committee member Ewan Jeffrey stepping into that responsibility. Thanks to Bruce for the delicious cakes provided!
