Location:
Duddingston Village is one of Edinburgh’s oldest and most picturesque settlements, tucked between Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Park to the west and Duddingston Loch to the south. Despite being just a few miles from the city centre, it retains a distinctive rural and historic charm, with cobbled streets, traditional cottages, and an almost village-like atmosphere.
This affluent and highly sought-after residential area offers easy access to the A1 and city bypass, making it a practical base for commuters.
In close proximity Meadowbank and Craigentinny offer a selection of shops, supermarkets, artisan cafes and amenities. Portobello is also on the doorstep providing a lovely place for families, and food and drinks with a view.
