Edinburgh / Colinton area

Sited in a steep-sided valley on a convenient fording point on the Water of Leith, Colinton's history dates back to the 11th century.

Close to the Water of Leith is Colinton Parish Church, originally founded as the Church of Halis (Hailes) around 1095 by Elthelred, third son of Malcolm III and Queen Margaret. The nearby 15th century Colinton Castle, in the grounds of what is now Merchiston Castle School, was destroyed by Oliver Cromwell during his invasion of Scotland. Following repair, the castle was subsequently partially demolished by the artist Alexander Nasmyth in order to create a picturesque ruin.

The original heart of Colinton is still referred to as "Colinton Village", retaining much of its original village charm with numerous small speciality shops (Such as Knights Cafe and Fanelli's Delicatessen) and original buildings remaining intact. The tranquility of the Water of Leith and nearby Colinton Dell, just to the north of the "village", contribute to this perception.

The Dell extends along the Water of Leith Walkway from Colinton Parish Church towards Slateford, and contains a mixture of mature and ancient woodland. It is a natural habitat for wildlife, including numerous bird species, amphibians, voles, weasels, stoats and roe deer. The walkway and cycle path also pass by some of the area's original mill buildings, not forgetting the old tunnel that dates back to when the path was part of the local railway line, closed to rail traffic in the 1960s.

How to get there

Edinburgh Airport is serviced by numerous airlines connecting to major European cities, USA and Canada. The flat is a short taxi ride from the airport. Specific directions given on enquiry. Taxi ride from Waverley Station in Edinburgh centre is approximately 20 minutes.
