In 1867 a great quantity of bones, said to be from a conflict between troops of Guy, Count of Namur, and those of the Earls of Moray and March in 1335, was found about 5ft below the surface, on the northern verge of the Burghmuir, where Glengyle Terrace now stands (NT 2493 7262 - NT 2508 7264). They were reburied by the authorities.

Statement of Special Interest

B group comprises Numbers 1 and 2 Glengyle Terrace, 40-44 Leven Street, 3-5, 6-8, 9-11 and 12-14 Glengyle Terrace and Numbers 14-16 Leven Terrace. Built on the grounds of Villafield House (shown on Kirkwood 1817 etc), these buildings occupy an important and sensitive situation, bordering Bruntsfield Links. Designed somewhat in the manner of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson, but also reflecting MacGibbon's interest in contemporary French architecture, (although described by 'The Builder' as 'in the usual style, flat though unfortunately not unprofitable) they are strongly articulated and finished to a very high standard. Similar terraces, less expensively executed, continue along Leven Terrace and into Brougham Place and Valleyfield Street.

Fifty-six years ago Liven Terrace, Glengyle Terrace and Gillespie Crescent, Edinburgh, Scotland, were paved with concrete. Though constructed in 1872 these streets are still carrying traffic today. Built without much scientific knowledge concerning concrete paving these three streets today withstand modern traffic.
