The Inch housing estate at Liberton was built in the early 1950s and was a mixture of cottage type house and three-storey blocks. Edinburgh Housing Committee rejected plans for having multi-storey flats there. The name means haugh or riverside meadow. Many of the streets are named for Sir Walter Scott or places or characters in his poems or novels.
