==Localities and Neighbourhood Partnerships==
The urban area of Edinburgh, the capital of [[Scotland]], is located in the [[City of Edinburgh council area]] and in [[East Lothian]]. The City of Edinburgh council area is divided into [[City_of_Edinburgh_Council#Wards|wards]] areas that are combined into four operational management areas termed "localities":<ref name="locality_improvement_plans">{{cite web |url=https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s29742/Locality%20Improvement%20Plans.pdf |title=Locality Improvement Plans|publisher=City of Edinburgh Council|access-date=2024-04-19}}</ref><ref name="localilies_evoc">{{cite web |url=https://www.evoc.org.uk/information/localities/|title=Localities - EVOC|publisher=EVOC|access-date=2024-04-19}}</ref>

The Edinburgh urban area covers most of the Neighbourhood Partnership areas, however, some of the areas are only covered partly, in particular Almond NP and Pentlands NP. Likewise, less than half of the North West and the South West localities are part of the urban area. In addition to the areas inside the City of Edinburgh council area, [[Musselburgh]] and [[Wallyford]] in [[East Lothian]] also take part of the Edinburgh urban area.
Two of the Neighbourhood Partnership areas, Almond NP and Pentlands NP, extend into the rural hinterland in the west of the City of Edinburgh council area, taking in villages such as [[Kirkliston]] and [[Ratho]] which are not part of the settlement of Edinburgh (however, [[Juniper Green]], [[Baberton]], [[Currie]] and [[Balerno]] are considered to be contiguous and are included). For the same reason, less than 50% of the North West and the South West localities' territory is with the urban area. to the east of the city, [[Musselburgh]] and [[Wallyford]] in [[East Lothian]] are considered to be contiguous with the main Edinburgh settlement and are also included in the urban area; however, other nearby localities such as [[Loanhead]] and [[Danderhall]] are not included (this may be adjusted in the future, particularly for Danderhall where 2020s housing developments at the former Edmonstone estate on the local authority boundary with Edinburgh will almost close the gap between the localities).<ref>[https://www.scottish-places.info/towns/townfirst8969.html Edmonstone], [[Gazetteer for Scotland]]</ref><ref>[https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/file/23023/edmonstone 231 Edmonstone], [[City of Edinburgh Council]], October 2007</ref><ref>[https://www.avanthomes.co.uk/about-avant/newsroom/avant-homes-releases-new-detached-houses-for-sale-at-the-lanes-development-in-edmonstone Avant Homes releases new detached houses for sale at The Lanes development in Edmonstone], Avant Homes, 5 December 2023</ref><ref>[https://www.scarlettdev.co.uk/developments/edmonstone/ Edmonstone (Phases 1 & 2), Edinburgh], Scarlett Developments</ref>


Residential areas are situated inside or located across borders of the larger Neighbourhood Partnership areas or locality areas. The edges of the residential areas are generally defined by roads, though actual lines on the ground are not defined precisely. The names of areas are often given to major roads in those areas, although this is not always the case.

File:Edinburgh urban area (settlement area).jpg
The Edinburgh urban area comprises the adjoined localities: Edinburgh, Musselburgh, and Wallyford.

This page lists residential areas in the urban area (settlement) which covers Edinburgh – the capital city of Scotland – and is located mainly in the City of Edinburgh council area and partly in East Lothian.

Localities and Neighbourhood Partnerships

The City of Edinburgh council area is divided into 17 wards, which have been combined into four operational management areas termed "localities":[1][2]

File:Edinburgh UK locality map with Edinburgh urban boundary 2017.svg
The four locality areas of the City of Edinburgh council area shown with the urban area boundary overlaid.

North West

South East

South West

The localities are further divided into Neighbourhood Partnership (NP) Areas:[3][4]

North East

  • Leith NP
  • Craigentinny and Duddingston NP
  • Craigmillar and Portobello NP

North West

  • Almond NP
  • Western Edinburgh NP
  • Forth NP
  • Inverleith NP

South East

  • City Centre NP
  • South Central NP
  • Liberton/Gilmerton NP

South West

  • South West NP
  • Pentlands NP

Two of the Neighbourhood Partnership areas, Almond NP and Pentlands NP, extend into the rural hinterland in the west of the City of Edinburgh council area, taking in villages such as Kirkliston and Ratho which are not part of the settlement of Edinburgh (however, Juniper Green, Baberton, Currie and Balerno are considered to be contiguous and are included). For the same reason, less than 50% of the North West and the South West localities' territory is with the urban area. to the east of the city, Musselburgh and Wallyford in East Lothian are considered to be contiguous with the main Edinburgh settlement and are also included in the urban area; however, other nearby localities such as Loanhead and Danderhall are not included (this may be adjusted in the future, particularly for Danderhall where 2020s housing developments at the former Edmonstone estate on the local authority boundary with Edinburgh will almost close the gap between the localities).[5][6][7][8]

Other definitions

Main areas

Residential areas can be situated inside or located across borders of the larger Neighbourhood Partnership areas or locality areas. The edges of the residential areas are generally defined by main roads, though actual lines on the ground are not defined precisely. The names of areas are often given to roads and streets in those areas, although this is not always the case.
