Kenilworth Avenue, Craigendoran
The name of the street is drawn from one of Sir Walter Scott's novels. Other nearby streets whose names are related to his works include Waverley Avenue, Guy Mannering Road, Talisman Crescent, Redgauntlet Road, Marmion Avenue, Ashton Drive (from "The Bride of Lammermoor"), and Image (from "The Heart of Midlothian"). There is also an Abbotsford Drive (compare Image).
Another area nearby has astronaut-themed street names: see Image Another street name of interest is found near Craigendoran Station: Image is presumably named after the Dennistouns of Colgrain (their surname was anciently spelled Danzielstoun).
The present photograph was taken from the junction with Campbell Drive (probably a reference to the Campbells of Colgrain, Image, who purchased the lands of Colgrain from the above-mentioned Dennistouns in 1836; see, for example, Image).
