Schooling in the local area includes Tollcross Primary, St Peter’s RC Primary, St Thomas of Aquin's RC High, and the highly regarded James Gillespie's High, as well easy access to the city's many renowned private schools. The vast open green spaces of The Meadows and the Bruntsfield Links include public tennis courts, playgrounds, and a seasonal pitch and putt course, whilst Holyrood Park, Arthur's Seat and the Salisbury Crags are just a little further to the east. The area also enjoys excellent bus services throughout and good road links.
