Tradespeople in Marchmont, Edinburgh

About Marchmont

Marchmont is a dense tenement neighbourhood south of the Meadows, one of Edinburgh's most popular residential areas for students, young professionals, and families.

The streets are lined with handsome Victorian tenements built in the 1870s and 1880s, many with high ceilings, bay windows, and original features.

The Meadows — a large public park immediately to the north — is Marchmont's green space, used for everything from cricket to cherry blossom viewing.

The area has a quiet, residential character but is within a 15-minute walk of the Old Town, the university, and the shops of Bruntsfield and Morningside.

About Edinburgh

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.
