You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Niddrie''' (((lang-gd|Nuadh-Treabh)) ((IPA-gd|ˈn̪uətro|))) is a residential suburb in [[Edinburgh]], Scotland. It is situated in the south-east of the city, south-west of the [[coast|seaside]] area of [[Portobello, Edinburgh|Portobello]], and west of [[Musselburgh]] in [[East Lothian]] near [[Fort Kinnaird]] retail park. The western section of Niddrie is also known by the alternative name of [[Craigmillar]].

==History==
The place name is believed to be of [[Brythonic languages|Brythonic]] origin, *''nowid treb'' meaning "new settlement".<ref>((cite web|url=https://spns.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Alan_James_Brittonic_Language_in_the_Old_North_BLITON_Volume_III_Index_of_Place_Names_2023_edition.pdf|title=Brittonic Language in the Old North: Index of Place Names|website=spns.org.uk|access-date=9 January 2023))</ref> It was known historically as Niddry Marischal to distinguish it from several other nearby localities: [[Longniddry]] and Niddry Bents.

The Wauchope family owned the majority of the area up to the 1930s. [[Robert Wauchope (bishop)|Robert Wauchope]], [[Archbishop of Armagh]] and Primate of Ireland, was born in Niddrie Marischal around  1500. In the 1590s [[Archibald Wauchope of Niddrie]] was a supporter of the rebel [[Francis Stewart, 5th Earl of Bothwell|Earl of Bothwell]].<ref>[[Annie Cameron|Annie I. Cameron]], ''Calendar State Papers Scotland: 1593-1595'', vol. 11 (Edinburgh, 1936), p. 164.</ref> The family home Niddrie Marischal House was immediately west of the present-day Jack Kane Centre sports complex in [[Hunters Hall]] Park. The Wauchopes eventually donated their lands to the city.

In 1839 [[John Henderson (architect)|John Henderson]] designed the lodge and gates to the Mansion. The House was demolished although the vaulted tomb-house, which adjoined the western extension, remains as a listed building.<ref>((cite web|url=http://portal.historic-scotland.gov.uk/designation/LB28103|title=NIDDRIE MARISCHAL HOUSE TOMBHOUSE NIDDRIE MARISCHAL TERRACE))</ref>

From the mid-19th century the area was developed by the family for coal-mining purposes with several pits being built and a great number of miners cottages were erected.<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.scottishmining.co.uk/227.html | title=Niddrie 1884 - Scottish Mining Website ))</ref>

[[Social housing]] was built in Niddrie Mains by Edinburgh [[Corporation]] from 1927 until the mid-1930s, under the designs of City Architect, [[Ebenezer James MacRae]]. The new housing was linked to a major [[Slum clearance in the United Kingdom|slum clearance]] scheme in the St. Leonard's Ward of Edinburgh. Families from these cleared areas were housed together with local coal mining families from Niddrie.

The Niddrie Mains council housing estate is now almost completely demolished, with very few of the buildings surviving. The land has been mostly redesignated for private rather than social housing. 
 
The site is currently being developed by PARC, an ALMO or [[Arms Length Management Organisation]], fully owned by the [[City of Edinburgh Council]]. The development includes a new primary school for the surrounding area, with the old Niddrie Mill Primary School and St Francis Primary School being put on a joint campus. The first, though unassociated, phase of redevelopment in the Niddrie Mains area was the Hays area, constructed around 2001 and consisting of two-storey blocks with gardens and [[pedestrianised]] streets.

==Crime==

Between the 1980s and 2000s, Niddrie suffered from a high crime rate. [[Antisocial behaviour]] is fairly common, though gang fights and [[knife legislation|knife crime]] are of a lesser degree today compared to the levels recorded between the 1980s and 2000s. During the 1980s, Niddrie was one of the most drug-riddled communities in Scotland,((citation needed|date=December 2010)) and still has problems with [[class A drug]] use today.((cn|date=December 2021)) For a number of years, the area has had problems with joyriding and youngsters stealing cars and motorbikes.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.scotsman.com/news/irresponsible-youtube-shows-180mph-joyriders-in-stolen-car-1-1337261|title='Irresponsible' YouTube shows 180mph joyriders in stolen car))</ref> [[Greendykes]] and Niddrie Mains was ranked as the fourth-most deprived area in Scotland in the 2006 [[Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation]]<ref name="Scottish Index of Multiple deprivation">((cite web |url         = http://www.sns.gov.uk/Simd/Simd.aspx |publisher   = Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics |year        = 2012 |access-date  = 6 March 2013 |title       = Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation |url-status     = dead |archive-url  = https://web.archive.org/web/20150510081913/http://www.sns.gov.uk/Simd/Simd.aspx |archive-date = 2015-05-10))</ref>

Episodes of public disorder have seen police and fire service personnel subject to attack. 

During the bonfire night period 2023 a police vehicle was struck by a Molotov cocktail in the area with gangs on motorcycles racing through the area "while fireworks were lobbed at the ground". Young people in masks were reported to be filming themselves using a "rocket launcher to shoot fireworks at police" In an effort to control the disorder several roads in the area were closed in the Hay Avenue area of the suburb and police became involved in a stand-off with around 100 youths on the Sunday night.<ref>((Cite web |last=Vesty |first=Sarah |date=2023-11-05 |title=Niddrie riot youths aim rocket launcher at police and shout 'get it on his head' |url=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/niddrie-riot-youths-aim-rocket-31368387 |access-date=2023-11-06 |website=Daily Record |language=en))</ref>

On November 5, 2023, the BBC reported that "about 50 young people have clashed with riot police in Edinburgh with fireworks and petrol bombs being thrown directly at officers".<ref>((Cite news |date=2023-11-05 |title=Police petrol-bombed in Edinburgh Bonfire Night disorder |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-67328978 |access-date=2023-11-06))</ref>

==Transport==
Niddrie once had its own railway station, on the [[Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway]]. Today the nearest stations are at ((rws|Brunstane)) and ((rws|Newcraighall)), both located on [[Edinburgh Crossrail]] and [[Borders Railway]].

[[Lothian Buses]] provide 8 buses to the area:
