Canonmills history


Holyrood Abbey

Canonmills owes its origins to the Augustinian canons of Holyrood Abbey who operated a mill here from the 12th century. It is shown pictorially as a cluster of buildings, three of which have waterwheels, on the 1560 Siege of Leith map.

George V Park

The George V Park, occupying the old Canon Mill Haugh to the south east, used to be a popular sporting arena. With the final draining of the loch in 1865 it became the site of the Royal Patent Gymnasium. The principal feature was the circular Great Sea Serpent which could seat 600 rowers.

Scotland Street Tunnel

Scotland Street Tunnel once provided an underground rail link to Canal Street Station. The tunnel was built under Scotland Street in 1847 by the Edinburgh, Leith and Newhaven Railway. Trains descended the tunnel under gravity, controlled by two men operating handbrakes in two front wagons.
