Oxgangs Street
Part of a large housing scheme, dating from the 1960s(?), in the area of the old Oxgangs Farm. The 'Streets of Edinburgh' says an oxgang is an old Scottish measure of about 5 ha, which is the amount that can be ploughed by an ox-drawn plough in a year, which does not seem much. Another source says 'from old English law, an uncertain quantity of land, but, according to some opinions, it contains fifteen acres [6 ha]'.

Oxgangs building site
Once the site of St John's Church, church hall and a welfare office, it is now destined to become an ALDI. Oxgangs Library is on the other side - the set of six square units. The houses are on Oxgangs Road North.

Oxgangs Library
It was good to see the Library open on a Saturday afternoon. All too often, such facilities are closed just when most people would be free to use them - at weekends and on public holidays. Well done, City of Edinburgh Council. Now, what about doing the same at the Central Library?
