Edinburgh was recently voted the most desirable place to live and work in the UK and Bruntsfield is certainly one of the most desirable places to live in Edinburgh.

Just a twenty minute walk from Princes Street, Bruntsfield is located to the south west of the city’s best known residence; Edinburgh Castle.

With its fabulous shops, trendy bars, restaurants, cafés, churches, schools and park all set in beautiful surroundings, Bruntsfield has it all. It is not just an area, it’s a destination - the place to be.

BRUNTSFIELD

Bruntsfield Place, the main shopping street, is dominated by beautiful chimney topped Victorian tenements with characteristically high ceilings and ornamental cornices. Located on a busy bus route, there is a regular service to and from the city centre.

The nearby schools and universities attract young families and students to live in Bruntsfield, giving the area a youthful energy, whilst the many churches and day centres provide older residents with a reassuring sense of belonging to a neighbourly community.

Best Western, Bruntsfield Hotel

Bruntsfield is the desired residence of a number of famous people, past and present. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, crime writer Ian Rankin, comedian Dylan Moran and the Chancellor Alisdair Darling, all choose to live in the area.

The late Robin Cook M.P, writer Muriel Spark, author of ‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie’ and Eric Liddell, the 1924 Olympic runner and subject of the award winning 1981 film ‘Chariots of Fire’, were all previous residents of Bruntsfield. The Eric Liddell Centre is located in Morningside United Church, one of four churches at the junction of Bruntsfield

Place, Colinton Road and Morningside Road, known locally as Holy Corner.

If you are visiting Edinburgh, then Bruntsfield is the reccomended place to stay at any time of the year.

The Best Western Bruntsfield Hotel is renowned for its style and quality and is perfectly located overlooking Bruntsfield Links. Close to, but far enough away from the busy city centre, it offers 67 Bedrooms of four star comfort and the Hotel’s stylish Bisque Bar & Brasserie provides fabulous food and drink from 7am until late.

Shopping in Bruntsfield is a breath of fresh air.There are few areas with such a high number of quality shops and restaurants located in one convenient place. Flanked on either side by tall, Victorian sandstone tenements, which glow golden in the afternoon sun, Bruntsfield oozes character, style and sophistication.

Bright and friendly shops display stylish and colourful goods, making Bruntsfield a vibrant and exciting place to be. A shopper’s paradise.

Exclusive boutiques, jewellers, baby shops, gift shops, salons, specialist services, fantastic food and much more - Bruntsfield has it all.

Unlike most streets these days, traditional, family-run businesses such as tailors, bakers, butchers, cobblers and fishmongers are thriving in Brunstfield. Local traders take an obvious pride in belonging to Brunstfield and many display beautiful hanging baskets outside their premises enhancing the look of the area.

Many shops are open 7 days a week and with some also offering late night opening hours, Brunstfield is the perfect destination at any time.

Bars and restaurants stay open late into the night offering plenty of ways to spend a great night after a great day’s shopping.

This area was originally wooded moorland, where Scottish nobles would hunt for deer. Then, for over two hundred years it was a busy stone quarry until in 1827 the Edinburgh Improvement Act preserved the 35 acres as parkland.

Bruntsfield Links has the prestige of being the oldest short holed golf course in the world, the game being recorded as being played here since the 15th Century.

Although it is not proven, the links could be the very first place that golf was ever played!

The course is still in use and is one of Scotland’s few public courses where golfers can enjoy a free game from April to September.

Joined to the Meadows to the north east, the Links is surrounded by stunning panoramic views of Edinburgh Castle, Salisbury Crags and Arthur’s Seat.

The expanse of greenery is like a magnet to sun-bathers in the summer months, although the area is widely used throughout the year by everyone to sit, relax, walk, cycle, jog and play golf, fly kites and build snowmen in the winter.

The links is a popular place for people to gather for a fantastic view of the Festival and New Year firework displays launched from the Castle.

Mostly though, the links provides the perfect place to stop and unwind.

There are well kept public toilets, phone booths and even a coffee kiosk at hand, but don’t forget that you’re just a minute away from everything that Bruntsfield has to offer!
