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. |

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. Summer season 2024: Continue to plant up seeds for succession planting. Compost as much as possible and drown perennial weeds. Go organic and enjoy our insect life!
