Edinburgh with a resident population of approximately 490,000 and catchment in excess of 1,000,000 is the Capital of Scotland and the sixth-largest financial centre in Europe.
60% of Scotland’s population lies within one hour’s drive of the City which is both the seat of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government.
South Gyle is located on the Western periphery of the City. The area benefits from excellent communication links to the A720 City Bypass and its junctions with the M8 Motorway and the A8 providing direct access to the M9 and A90/ M90. Edinburgh Airport which now handles 9 million passengers a year is only 5 minutes drive away via the A8.
South Gyle and Edinburgh Park railway stations are in close proximity and communication links have been further enhanced by the development of the Edinburgh Tram network that provides a direct route from the airport via Edinburgh Park into the City Centre.
