Saughton Mains Allotments Association

We are a Council-managed allotment site in Edinburgh.  We do not control plot allocation - to be placed on the waiting list, please contact the Council.

Dogs and children must both be supervised at all times when they are on our site, and plotholders must keep the gate locked unless they are physically present at it.

Committee and Keyholders

People who are starred (*) have keys to the site hut, or "chalet".  People who are plussed (+) have keys to the bulk goods store, or "metal shipping container". Committee members serve a three year term before standing down, although they can be re-elected immediately.  Term starts are autumn 2022 unless otherwise otherwise noted.

SMAA plotholders are welcome to stand for the Committee at AGMs.  They can also contribute to committee meetings without being on the committee.

Non-voting volunteer "observers":

Privacy Policy

Where we have explicit consent to do so, we collect the plot numbers, names, and email addresses of our plotholders and send out news using Brevo as a mailing list service.  We never give anyone else your contact details, but you can request we pass yours to other plotholders.  We will only do this if we have time.  We use the plot numbers and names for when people request us to tell a plotholder that their shed has blown over or similar.  They help us identify vague descriptions and also remove old names from our list.

Our website and online forms are hosted by Google.

We use an email list for committee members that only they can send to and receive. It is managed by IONOS.

We take phone contact numbers on our order forms for the sole purpose of fulfilling the order, and do not retain them once the order is collected.
