Craiglea Drive is situated in the much sought after Morningside district of the City. Craiglea Drive itself is a
residential street that is situated conveniently close to Morningside Road with its extensive range of
independent shops as well as Waitrose and Marks & Spencers supermarkets and a number of cafes,
restaurants and other amenities. There are frequent bus services into the City Centre as well as easy access to
the City Bypass, which in turn provides access to the east of the City and East Lothian, and to the West of the
City, the airport and central motorway network. There are wonderful walks nearby at the Hermitage of Braid
and Blackford Hill Nature Reserve and a little further afield in the Pentlands Country Park and a short stroll
takes you to Morningside Park. The Church Hill Theatre, Dominion Cinema and King’s Theatre are all close
by as are several golf courses and the Hillend Ski Centre. The area is well served by a number of popular
primary and secondary schools, both public and private, including South Morningside Primary, George
Watson’s College and Boroughmuir High School.
