Location

Esslemont Road is a popular residential street set in Newington only three miles to the south of Edinburgh’s city centre.

Many of the buildings here are of historic or architectural interest. Noteworthy is the University of Edinburgh's 'King's Buildings' campus, designed and built between 1926 and 1932 by the important 20th Century Scottish architectural partnership of Sir Robert Lorimer and John Fraser Matthew.

Its proximity to both private and public schools (including Sciennes and James Gillespie's), paired with the excellent transport links to the city centre and surrounding districts, are just two reasons why it is so coveted.

The city bypass is only minutes away providing access to Edinburgh International Airport and the central Scotland motorway network.

Newington has excellent local amenities, with shops, restaurants, and bars. Also nearby is a large supermarket complex at Cameron Toll. The area benefits from fantastic local facilities, including the Royal Commonwealth Pool, the beautiful open spaces of Holyrood Park, and a good choice of local golf courses. For the medically-minded, the New Royal Infirmary and the Royal Dick Veterinary School are ideally situated nearby.
