Liberton is a desirable residential area located on the south side of the city, just over three miles from Princes Street. The area is leafy and residential yet is within easy reach of the city centre via regular public transport services and less than ten minutes from the city by-pass. It is a popular and attractive place to live with good access to schools, Edinburgh University King’s Buildings and the Royal Infirmary, the Medical School and the new Sick Kids’ at Little France. Leisure options are also plentiful, and range from golf courses to horse riding and hill walking in the wonderful open spaces of the Braid Hills and Hermitage of Braid. The Straiton retail outlet is within a few minutes by car and plays host to the majority of High Street stores, including M&S Food, as well as Ikea, Costco and large branches of both Asda and Sainsbury’s.
