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.
