LOCAL GUIDE

From leafy streets and broad tree-lined avenues to specialist shops and bustling restaurants, Merchiston and the neighbouring area of Bruntsfield are Edinburgh’s most exclusive addresses and home to a range of media personalities and celebrities.

The focal point is the four imposing churches on opposite corners that create the historic Holy Corner which leads on to the fashionable neighbourhoods of Merchiston, Bruntsfield, Morningside and Church Hill – all within walking distance. The abundance of local eateries, bars, specialist shops and boutiques will suit all tastes and the family-run Dominion cinema and King’s Theatre provide local entertainment in a bustling village atmosphere. Bruntsfield Links and the adjoining Meadows provide 35 acres of scenic parkland popular with locals, with a 400 year golfing history and short-hole course as well as tennis courts, a bowling green and children’s playgrounds.

Edinburgh’s city centre is a mere ten minute journey away or a leisurely stroll, with the famed landmarks all easily reachable by bus, car or on foot.
