Inverleith (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Lìte) is an inner suburb in the north of Edinburgh, Scotland, on the fringes of the central region of the city.

[1] These include Scotland's most expensive penthouses, selling for £1.5m, and a recently renovated villa, which sold for over two million pounds sterling.

[2] The houses are generally handsome and spacious Victorian or Georgian villas with two or three floors, garages and quite large gardens.

The area gives its name to the Inverleith ward under the City of Edinburgh Council created in 2007, but this encompasses a larger territory including Stockbridge, Comely Bank and more westerly neighbourhoods such as Blackhall, Craigleith and Drylaw.

[4][11] This includes allotments and a well maintained pond, popular for use by model boat enthusiasts and well populated with water birds and occasionally kingfishers.

[12] The park has also played host as a shooting location for feature films such as Chariots of Fire and Dark Sense.

[13] A former home of the Scotland national rugby union team, the Inverleith Sports Ground (hosting international matches from 1899 until 1925 when they moved to Murrayfield Stadium)[14] is located off Ferry Road and is today used by Stewarts Melville RFC.

[15] In addition to some public facilities in Inverleith Park itself, the wider area contains a large expanse of separate but almost contiguous sports grounds, most of which are associated to local, historic fee-paying schools like the Edinburgh Academy, Fettes College and Stewart's Melville College (plus those of modern Broughton High School), including the home grounds of Edinburgh Accies (at Raeburn Place), Edinburgh Northern RFC and Inverleith RFC, as well as The Grange Club, home of the Scotland national cricket team.
