The ward in the west of the City of Edinburgh centres on the leafy suburb of Corstorphine and the neighbouring Murrayfield. Corstorphine retains a village atmosphere around its main street and the wooded slopes of Corstorphine Hill, while Murrayfield is best known for Murrayfield Stadium, Scotland’s principal rugby ground which transforms the area on matchdays.
The area combines residential streets, local shops, schools and green space, with attractions such as Edinburgh Zoo nearby and straightforward bus and road links into central Edinburgh. Historically a separate village, Corstorphine keeps a strong local identity, giving the ward a pleasant mix of suburban calm and lively sporting and leisure activity.
