Edinburgh’s districts

Edinburgh is comprised of a number of diverse districts. Each offers a variety of housing.  Urban villages, Georgian crescents, market towns and sympathetic new developments offer abundant choice to prospective residents.

Architects at the forefront of contemporary design are regenerating the  city’s waterfront.  Pristine apartment buildings rise from the early morning coastal mists of Granton and Leith.

Duddingston was built around a 12th century church.  Locals visit the Victorian skittle alley in the village inn, reputedly the oldest pub in Scotland.  The hamlet adjoins a loch and bird sanctuary.  It could be in the heart of rural Scotland.  It’s actually on the southern edge of Arthur’s Seat (five minutes by car from the Royal Mile).
