Granton Mains and Granton Mill

These streets form part of the Granton area, and are located near the site of Granton Mains, a farm which can be found on the 1896 OS map.

Street names included West Pilton Wynd, Row, West Pilton Walk, West Pilton Path, West Pilton Way and West Pilton Loan. West Pilton Road continued further north than it now does, to join West Granton Road.
