{{Use dmy dates|date=June 2017}}{{Use British English|date=June 2017}}Inch or The Inch is a populated area of Edinburgh, Scotland, located south of Inch Park in the south of the city.[1][2]

Inch House

The area grew around Inch House, a Scottish vernacular tower house dating from 1617. It is a category A listed building.[3] The Inch Park now surrounding it was its former garden grounds.

Its former residents include Sir Robert Gilmour, 1st Baronet[4] who greatly extended and remodelled the house in the 1890s.[5]

The house was sold to Edinburgh Corporation in 1946 and served for twenty years as a primary school before the building was turned into a community centre.[6] It remains in Council ownership and the grounds provide the main nursery beds for Council plants within the city parks and green-spaces.
