Lochrin

It is in the south-west corner of the city centre, to the west of Tollcross, and south of Fountainbridge.

[1] Lochrin contains a wide mixture of retail shops, leisure facilities, other businesses and tenement housing.

Major new office and residential developments have replaced some of the older buildings.

At that time, the Leamington Lift Bridge was moved from where Fountainbridge crossed the canal to its current location just to the west of the basin.

[2] Lochrin Basin is the centrepiece of Edinburgh Quay, a mixed-use development providing office and residential accommodation and licensed premises, which was voted the Best Regeneration project in Scotland at the Scottish Design Awards 2005.
