Tynecastle...The Name?

Prior to being under Social Work Dept. control Springwell House was previously Dalry Girls Reformatory School and before that Magdalene Asylum - as the name suggests it was originally the site of a 'spring' well.

 

It's a bit of an eary place I believe - some of the staff there don't like visiting the upper floors in the building after dark!!

 

Do you remember the Old Civil Defence training yard at the back of the place where Gorgie Farm now stands?
