Abbeyhill

Generally it may be taken to mean the part of town lying between Holyrood Park (and perhaps The Palace of Holyroodhouse itself) to the south; London Road and adjoining streets to the north; Calton Hill and the yards of Waverley Station to the west; and Meadowbank to the east.

Another area of distinctive and beautiful character is "the rows", several streets of colony houses on the north side of London Road.

The south side of Lower London Road, sloping down to Meadowbank, is a mix of earlier small-scale industrial premises and newer residential housing.

There are numerous dedicated residential and business forums for the area and also opportunities to connect including the well-established Abbeyhill Colony of Artists.

[3] The Category-B listed Abbeymount Techbase building sits at the top of Easter Road, and was initially built as a primary school in 1874[4] is now used as artists studios.
