BBC Scotland are working to build a micro history site about this bombing (late evening of 6th August 1942) which will be placed within their Scotland's History web site. Should be up by the end of October 2009. If any one has any details or info about the raid that they would care to share please get in contact. I'm the producer on the site which is also looking into the raid on St Andrews that same evening which killed 13. There were 3 deaths at Craigentinny.
My grandfather William Anderson was first aid warden attended that night but alas he is long time passed on now, my mother remembers the night was so scary as so close, she told me they got a pregnant woman out that night but no idea of casualties, only someone from that area would be able to tell you, i lived and went to school and we all heard how it happened, but i can not remember the story, i guess someone out there will have still got the information. good luck.

Did Edinburgh get bombed in world war 2?
Because Edinburgh (or Leith), and more importantly Rosyth, were major Royal Navy ports during the war and shipping would often anchor in the Forth before moving onto destinations further south and north. The Luftwaffe also wanted to stretch Britain's air defenses as much as possible, especially in the summer of 1940 - in fact the Battle of Britain was said to have actually have begun over the Firth of Forth when Spitfire's from the City of Edinburgh intercepted a German raid attacking shipping at anchor in the firth. Over the coming weeks, the German suffered very heavy losses during daylight attacks and therefore switched to mostly night time raids against the area to try to disrupt shipping.
