Craigmillar Castle Housing Scheme, including Craigmillar Castle Road, Terrace, and Avenue, was built in 1937 - 1938 as a result of the 1930/35 and 1938 Housing Acts. An earlier housing development had taken place in 1929 immediately to the north-east of this one, including Wauchope Crescent, Avenue and Road.
