- W2314522057 abstract "From all the evidence, both historic and geological, we can clearly demonstrate the former existence of seven more or less conspicuous sheets of water in this part of Midlothian. The positions of these are indicated on the accompanying map of the site of Edinburgh in ancient times, which has been compiled from a variety of data referred to in the following pages. On this map the 25-feet beach is shown as the coast-line at the time the old lakes were in existence. These ‶seven eyes″ of ancient Dun Edin were as follows:— 1. Gogar Loch. 2. Corstorphine Loch. 3.
