Drylaw is an area in the north west of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, located between Blackhall and Granton.

[1] Drylaw used to belong to the younger branch of the Foresters of Corstorphine.

[2] Formerly the estate of Drylaw House, built in 1718, the home of the Loch family,[3] the area became the site of a major housing scheme in the 1950s designed to rehouse the occupants of Leith.

Its name comes from the Scots language and means "hill without a spring".
