Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
The Stockbridge Colonies are located just to the south of the Royal Botanic Garden, about a mile north of Princes Street. They were built by the Edinburgh Cooperative Building Company which was founded in 1861. The company's founders included the stonemason and geologist Hugh Miller, the journalist and politician Hugh Gilzean Reid and the stonemason James Coleville. Their aim was to establish a cooperative organisation, principally owned by working class shareholders, to build good quality, affordable housing for working people. The development, known as Glenogle Park, began in the year of the company's foundation and was largely completed by 1875, although sporadic building continued until 1911.
