Gilmerton village existed at least as far back as the 16th century. Mining of coal and limestone was for centuries the principal economic activity of the village. Gilmerton Cove is an extensive, historic undergound dwelling in the area. Gilmerton is now part of the City of Edinburgh.
The shop in the building on the left is St Cuthbert's Cooperative Association.
