History and heritage
|
The path is named after the colourful Rochheid family who once owned the property as part of their estate. It was originally given to the old Edinburgh Corporation free of charge by the governors of Fettes Trust to form an access from Bell Place to Arboretum Avenue to be permanently maintained as a garden or shrubbery ground.
