Carlton Street is a quiet street just off the high street in Stockbridge.

Built by James Milne in 1824 and forming part of the redevelopment of the land by Sir Henry Raeburn, the design is a major example of early to mid century urban classicism in Edinburgh and is an integral part of Edinburgh’s New Town.

8 Carlton Street is a category A listed building.

Located in Stockbridge, 1 mile north west of the city centre, the area is characterised by its village feel with a number of independent coffee shops, boutiques and retailers along Raeburn Place. It is a particularly green area and as such is highly sought after, being so close to Inverleith Park, as well as sports facilities at the Grange Sports Club (Cricket, Hockey, Tennis & Squash) as well as Edinburgh Accies for rugby.

The Edinburgh Accies ground at Raeburn Place is famous for being the site of the first ever international rugby match in March 1871 (Scotland beat England).

Carlton Street is in the catchment area for Stockbridge or St Mary’s RC Primary Schools. Broughton High School or St Thomas of Aquin’s RC High School are the options for secondary schools. Excellent independent schools nearby include Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, ESMS and St George’s School for Girls.
