The popularity of the area is accounted for not only by its pleasant, quiet and leafy streets, but also by its convenient location for access to schools, local amenities and road links both in and out of town.

Nearby Bruntsfield, Morningside and Newington provide a wealth of charming local shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, along with a cinema, theatre and a choice of supermarkets.

There are a number of independent schools on the south side of the city, including George Watson's, George Heriot’s and Merchiston Castle School which are all within easy reach, as well as The Edinburgh Academy, St. George’s and Erskine Stewart’s Melville Schools also readily accessible.
