Hi Wozzle

Orr Vale isn't appearing on any city maps in present or past. However I think is worth getting in touch with the City Council as they will hold all past records -  planning department I think is best bet. I've done same with Renfrewshire Council because places have disappeared where my lot used to live and they found them for me.

Here is there email addy http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/internet

Good Luck!

Hi Wozzle,

I have searched the address on 1841 to 1901 census returns and no result. I have also checked old maps.co.uk, and can find no address. Can this be the name of one of the large houses in the area?
Sorry could not help.

the place Orr Vale that my wife remembers is from about 1953-1958. She says that she was also told about a restaurant called Whinrig. I suppose Orr vale could have been spelt Horvale or similar. Does anybody remember the restaurant.

Hi Wozzle,

Whinrig Restaurant,
 7.9 miles from West Linton (Peeblesshire)
 01314493848
 Mansfield Road, Balerno, EH14 7JX
 
From the Evening News,
Eaterie swallowed up
A RESTAURANT near the Capital is set to be knocked down to make way for a house.

The former Whinrig restaurant on Mansfield Road in Balerno is to be demolished and a house and garage built in its place

after planning chiefs approved the plans, subject to a series of conditions.

Hi wozzle,

http://www.buittle.org.uk/sailors.htm

THE Water of Orr is called the River Urr by modern geographers, but why they changed its spelling it would he difficult to say. It is also called the Winding Orr because of its numerous bends and twistings, and its valley is called "The Lovely Vale of Orr'," well known in song and story.
