Greater Craigmillar is a suburb on the south-east of Edinburgh incorporating several areas including Craigmillar, Niddrie, Bingham, and Newcraighall. It is bounded by Holyrood Park, the historic Craigmillar Castle and the new Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, and is currently undergoing massive regeneration. The area has a strong history of community activism and has been home to the Craigmillar Festival for more than 40 years. Once the site of industries including brewing and mining, Craigmillar has been characterised by social deprivation but is home to a fiercely proud community, and s1craigmillar.com has been developed to allow residents share their news, views and opinions, make announcements, publicise events and show off their photos and videos.
