Local Area
Tucked between Canonmills and Broughton, Powderhall is a peaceful and attractive residential area just to the north-east of Edinburgh’s city centre. Once home to a historic foundry and racecourse, the neighbourhood has been thoughtfully redeveloped in recent decades and is now known for its well-maintained modern apartments, leafy outlooks and riverside setting along the Water of Leith. Popular with professionals, young families and downsizers alike, it offers a tranquil, village-like feel while remaining within easy reach of the city’s many attractions.
Powderhall enjoys excellent access to outdoor spaces, with St Mark’s Park and the nearby Warriston playing fields offering space for exercise and recreation. The Water of Leith Walkway connects the area to Stockbridge, the Royal Botanic Garden and Dean Village, providing scenic walking and cycling routes across the city. Broughton Road and Canonmills are a short stroll away and offer a wide range of independent cafés, restaurants and local shops, while larger supermarkets, including Tesco and Lidl, are also close by.
The area is well placed for access to excellent schooling, including Broughton Primary and Drummond Community High School, and sits within easy reach of some of Edinburgh’s most highly regarded independent schools. A regular bus service operates nearby, connecting to the city centre and beyond, while quick access to Ferry Road makes commuting to the west of the city, Edinburgh Airport and the wider motorway network straightforward.
