This model of The Inch lays out the design drawn up for The Inch by architect David Stratton Davis.  It would make The Inch Edinburgh's first "garden city".  And in 1954 the Saltire Society declared The Inch was the best local authority housing in Scotland.  Inch Park is in the forefront of the picture, but altogether one-third of the land was given over to parks and green space, all part of the "garden city" philosophy which saw open spaces as an essential part of the design, not just an add-on.  And unlike many pre-war estates, The Inch  was designed as a self-contained community with plenty shops, as well as a doctor's surgery, schools and community facilities.
