Few cities can boast housing estates with the distinctiveness and charm of 'the Colonies' of Edinburgh. After a dispute in 1861 a group of building workers formed the Edinburgh Co-operative Building Company. They bought some land on the fringe of the city, contributed their own labour, and built the 'colony' houses at Stockbridge.
