No alarm installer listed in Colinton yet.

An alarm installer fits, services and monitors home and business security systems - intruder alarms, CCTV cameras, access control and smoke or flood detectors.

Wireless systems are easier to retrofit and don't require chasing into walls; wired systems are more reliable for larger properties or those expecting heavy use.

Insurers often want a NACOSS or SSAIB-approved installer for monitored systems if you want a discount on your home or commercial cover, so ask before commissioning the work.

Colinton is a former village on the Water of Leith in south-west Edinburgh, now a leafy suburb that retains a strong village identity.

The Dell - the wooded gorge of the Water of Leith through Colinton - is one of Edinburgh's most beautiful natural spaces, with a tunnel, old mills and the walkway running through it.

Robert Louis Stevenson spent childhood holidays at Colinton Manse and his connection to the village is celebrated with literary references throughout.

Colinton has a village centre with a church, local shops and a community feel and is within easy reach of the Pentland Hills and the city bypass.

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and one of the most recognisable cities in the world, built across a series of volcanic hills on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth.

The Old Town and New Town, together a UNESCO World Heritage Site, form the historic core - but the city stretches far beyond them, taking in dozens of distinct neighbourhoods, suburbs and villages absorbed over centuries of growth.

From the Georgian terraces of the New Town to the seaside promenade at Portobello, the leafy avenues of Morningside to the waterfront regeneration at Granton, each part of Edinburgh has its own character and community.

The city is a centre for finance, technology, higher education and the arts - the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world and the city's universities attract students and researchers from across the globe.

Edinburgh's transport network includes a tram line, an extensive bus system, two mainline railway stations and an international airport, connecting its neighbourhoods to each other and to the rest of Scotland and beyond.
