Duddingston Conservation Society

Introduction

The boundary of the Conservation Area contains Duddingston House and the entire grounds of Duddingston Golf Club, from east of the war memorial to where the edge of the grounds meet Duddingston Road West. The boundary runs along the cycle/ footpath (the former ‘Innocent Railway’ line) to the disused railway tunnel, near St. Leonard’s, north- east to

Windy Gowl, crosses Old Church Lane to Queen’s Drive, then runs north incorporating two fields to the north of Duddingston. The boundary then shifts directly south and passes behind the gardens of houses on Meadowfield Drive, following the boundary wall, to meet the original line at Duddingston Road West, slightly east of the war memorial.
