Locals recognise them instantly. With imaginative design and build, the homes included gardens, kitchens, and a front door in stark contrast to the multi-storey living of the Old Town. Where exactly are the 'Colonies'? Why have they proved to be so appealing as a housing type? Why have there been no demolitions? How were women involved in the Edinburgh Cooperative Building Company?
