Birthplace
« on: Thursday 27 June 13 10:04 BST (UK) »
Hi
A friend of mine is looking to confirm exactly where her birthplace was. 
She has the cert which gives address 20 smq Craighiehall South Queensferry West Lothian.
We don't know what the smq stands for but she believes it could have been barracks of some kind as father was in the royal artillery.
Any information gratefully received.
Thanks for reading  :)

Thanks very much have sent that link to her :)

I believe she is planning a visit to Scotland and would like to see the actual house she was born.

Any personal knowledge of the address/area would be most welcome.

If you/she Googles Craigiehall, masses of information is listed. The link that I gave has some photos and a click-able map of the area.

e.g. http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/index.php/Secrets/Craigiehall


Added - a Google map showing the position of No 20:

Thanks Gadget  :)

The link to no 20 comes up with 20 Riverside Road - do you think this is the same address as 20 smq?

The map link in the Canmore page (see my second reply) gives the married quarters as Riverside Road.
