Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Edinburgh is one of the world's most beautiful and historic cities and home to the famous Edinburgh Festival. We are lucky to live in a desirable, residential and green neighbourhood of Edinburgh with mainly 19th century houses. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverleith The Royal Botanic Gardens and Inverleith Park with tennis courts, a play area and a large pond are just a five minute walk from the house. It takes only 10-15 minutes on the bus to reach the heart of the historic city and buses are every 5-10 minutes. It takes less than five minutes on foot to reach, shops, a pub and cafes. The back garden is south-facing, spacious and private.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Inverleith is a very green residential area. The Royal Botanic Gardens and neighbouring magnificent Inverleith Park are about a seven minute walk away. We are a three minute walk away from shops including a flower shop, a vegan and a traditional delicatessen, a pharmacy, hairdressers, optician and two bars including The Herringbone which serves craft beer and cocktails as well as decent meals such as fish soup, sole, and speciality burgers.
It is a lovely 20 minute walk to Stockbridge with many independent shops, bars and restaurants. A further 10 minute walk takes you to the town centre. Alternatively you can reach the centre from a bus stop one minute from our house, which takes about 12 minutes.
This Wikipedia entry offers a good description of our area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverleith
