Laying claim to the home of Scottish Rugby, Murrayfield is also renowned as one of the capital’s most exclusive residential areas. With its scenic views of the rugged Pentland Hills and nearby Corstorphine Hill, it’s hard to believe this leafy location is less than two miles from the bustling city centre. A range of supermarkets, independent shops, takeaways and charming pubs can be found in the immediate area, whilst Edinburgh’s West End with its high-end restaurants, fashionable bars and boutiques are also close by. Set beside the picturesque Roseburn Park, the BT Murrayfield Stadium hosts a variety of sporting events and music concerts, whilst the area also benefits from a tennis club and prestigious golf courses. Murrayfield falls within the catchment area for several excellent state schools and lies close to some outstanding private schools, namely The Mary Erskine School, St George’s School for Girls and Stewart’s Melville College. Due to its westerly position, Murrayfield is conveniently placed for swift access to Haymarket train station and the tramline offering speedy services to Edinburgh Airport. The Edinburgh City Bypass and M8/M9 motorway network is also within easy reach.
