Slateford

Slateford lies in southwest Edinburgh, about 4km from the centre along the Water of Leith. The A70 Lanark Road runs straight through, connecting to the A720 bypass for quick access from Glasgow or the south. Most visitors arrive via local routes through Gorgie and Dalry, though it's handy for Edinburgh Airport just 8km away. You'll find over 200 EV charging points nearby, plus the area's historic slate ford crossing gives the district its distinctive name.
