Architect: Clarke & Bell Unusual and charming small Church of Ireland with traceried windows - their smaller size probably making the roof lights necessary. Described by Rowan as 'essentially English'...

An investigation has been launched after a teenager was assaulted and his electric bike stolen in Baronscourt Park last night. A section of the park was cordoned off to facilitate the investigation. The 16-year-old male was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment.  Officers are asking anyone who may have information that could help to contact 101 quoting reference 3680 of July 30.

An overlong lecture on the history of the English language. Some fascinating content and witty poetry, but needs better presentation to bring those words to life.

A play that clearly has its heart in the right place, but which is let down by one dimensional characters who do an injustice to its message.

**New solar hybrid lighting has been installed by Signify across several Edinburgh parks, making pathways safer and more welcoming for residents and visitors while supporting the city’s climate goals.** The City of Edinburgh Council has introduced the innovative lighting system in Baronscourt Park, Hailes Quarry Park and Ferniehill, with an off-grid solar solution installed at Dundas. The project includes both new lighting in previously unlit areas and upgrades to existing infrastructure where lighting levels were insufficient. The hybrid lights use solar energy wherever possible and automatically switch to grid power when needed, ensuring reliable lighting all year round. Smart sensors dim lights when paths are empty and increase brightness when people approach, improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists while reducing energy use and light pollution. The improved lighting encourages greater use of parks during evening hours, supporting active travel, wellbeing and community use of green spaces. Smart dimming also helps protect wildlife by limiting lighting to areas and times where it is needed. Edinburgh is the first city in the UK to implement this type of connected solar hybrid lighting in parks, setting a new benchmark for sustainable, people-focused public spaces. **Councillor Margaret Graham, Culture and Communities Convener said:** **“Working with Signify on these park lighting projects has been transformative for our city. The innovative solar-powered lighting system has not only enhanced safety for park users during evening hours but also aligns perfectly with our sustainability and climate goals.** “By reducing grid energy consumption by 53% and minimizing ecological disruption, this project sets a new benchmark for environmentally sensitive urban development. I’m also pleased that the technology has been rolled out in three other parks, namely Ferniehill, Hailes Quarry and Dundas. “The community response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re proud to lead the way with a solution that balances safety, sustainability, and innovation. This collaboration demonstrates how technology and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand to benefit both people and nature. “This initiative sets a new standard for sustainable and connected public lighting systems. I’m proud that Edinburgh has taken the lead here as the first UK city to implement such a scheme.” **Michelle McLaughlin, Key Account Manager, said:** “**The vision for this project was rooted in environmental responsibility and community empowerment. The Council aimed to enhance safety by illuminating park pathways while minimizing reliance on grid electricity and protecting the park’s ecosystem.** “The solution also sought to adapt dynamically to user activity and provide actionable data for future improvements. We are proud to be a part of such a great initiative and are happy that our solutions can benefit the visitors of the parks.” ### Share this: * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn * ### Like this: Like Loading...
