Can your allotment site be found in an emergency?

Spare ground, tucked away from sight, is how most allotments started. They often do not have a proper postal address. You could get there but could an ambulance find its way?
A few months back someone became seriously ill on an Edinburgh site. The ambulance was called, with the location given simply as the name of the allotment site and the name of the road the entrance was on. The ambulance spent over half an hour trying to find the site entrance to help the sick person.
To prevent this happening again the Federation of Edinburgh Allotments decided to coordinate with the emergency services. It produced a list of every site in the city giving

• site name, nearest postcode, OS 10 digit grid reference
• any other special local useful information to help find the site
  

This list has been well received and Edinburgh’s plotholders can feel a little safer. Is this something your organisation could do? Remember your plot holders will not all know the information above so the following have kindly agreed to store local names, addresses, post codes and OS grid references along with any individual site special information for any location in Scotland:
