Moredun

The facility was instead created in the form of the Murray Homes for the Scottish Veterans Association in 1929.

[4] In the late 1960s six tower blocks were built in the area; whilst all six remain standing, a large project was undertaken to refurbish them to coincide with the construction of the new Edinburgh Royal Infirmary nearby.

It is surrounded on the east by the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary just across the A7; on the north by Liberton Golf Club; and on the west and south by the neighbourhoods of Moredun, Moredunvale and Fernieside.

[7] For such a small area, Craigour consists of a wide variety of house types.

Craigour has a nearby primary school[12] (technically just outwith its boundaries between Moredun and Fernieside), a pub (close to the Royal Infirmary just across the main road), a corner shop and bookmaker adjacent to one another.
