Five additional street names are required for the Blairs Village. Suggestions from the Roads Development Team included Blairs Avenue, Kiln Rise, Blairs Gardens, Ardoe Drive & Shanna Walk.
The NKRCC suggests that reference to “Ardoe” would confuse the areas and this should be disregarded.
Public suggestions received to date:
St Mary’s annotated with Road, Lane, Walk or other – named after the Chapel.
College Gardens – the walled gardens, which would have originally been the kitchen supplies.
Seminary Road – Blairs College was the predominant Seminary in Scotland for training of boys to be priests.
Steeple View – The spire of St Mary’s Chapel is an architectural icon.
The use of historic reference with Blairs College & Museum (Heritage, Chapel, College etc.,)
All called Blairs or Menzies followed by with Avenue, Place, Road, Crescent being used.
Additional suggestions must be submitted to secretary@nkrcc.org.uk no later than Sunday 21st March.
