== History == thumb|Peffermill Court, one of two 14-storey tower blocks in Craigmillar Castle Gardens Despite the relative modernity of most of the housing in the area, the settlement of Craigmillar itself is very old, and contains Craigmillar Castle. The castle was begun in the late 14th or early 15th century, and was occupied until the early 18th century. In 1660, the Craigmillar estate was bought by Sir John Gilmour.
