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 holders latest

• The Warriston Plant Sale on Sunday 12 May was a great success — sun, new communal area open, lots of wonderful donations  (plants, crafts, home-baking) and much help from plot holders to make the whole thing happen. Thanks to everyone! A report and pics will be published online soon.
  
• The communal area is open for plot holder use. Click here for more. An update will be published soon. 
• The bin is being regularly overfilled and therefore collections are being missed. THE LID MUST CLOSE!! Click here to find out more about the bin.
