Roseburn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roseburn is a suburb of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.

The area lies in the west of the city, beyond Haymarket and close to the Murrayfield area (and Murrayfield stadium). It is immediately to the south of the A8 road.

The Water of Leith flows along one side of Roseburn Park next to the Water of Leith Walkway. Other boundaries to the park are Murrayfield Stadium and Murrayfield Ice Rink. The park is used for football in the winter and cricket in the summer. It has a small play area popular with pre-school and young children.

Roseburn Primary School offers education for children from Nursery to Primary 7. The main building is Victorian and has listed building status.

Businesses located in Roseburn include bars, restaurants, take aways, groceries, art work, jewellery, flowers, home furnishings, pharmaceutical goods, furniture, cars and hairdressing. Its location makes it a popular place for through traffic to take advantage of the selection of shops.

From May 2014, Edinburgh Trams will serve the Murrayfield Stadium tram stop located in Roseburn Street.
