Location
Newliston Estate is nestled in its own designed landscape, in a desirable location near the village of Kirkliston, a stone's throw from the city of Edinburgh. Despite the close proximity to the city, sheltered by acres of gardens, farmland and woodland, Newliston feels secluded and offers protection from the hustle and bustle of modern day life.
Newliston is located on Edinburgh's urban fringe, only 10 miles from the city centre, 3 miles from Ingliston Park and Ride (serviced by bus and tram links to the city) and 4 miles from Edinburgh Airport. Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city, is renowned for its historic Old Town and famous skyline dominated by Edinburgh Castle, and the classical architecture of its New Town. Known globally as a financial centre and home to a number of highly acclaimed universities, it now attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors a year particularly during the month of August when it plays host to Edinburgh's International Festival and Fringe, a cultural feast of the arts including music, theatre, film and literature.
Situated between the confluence of central Scotland's motorway road network, quick and easy access to all parts of Scotland could not be easier with Glasgow 38 miles to the west, Stirling 28 miles to the north west and Perth, gateway to the Scottish Highlands, 40 miles to the north. Beyond Edinburgh, on the East Lothian coastline are some of the best links golf courses in the world (Gullane, Muirfield, Archerfield and North Berwick) with St. Andrews, the Home of Golf and regular host of The Open lying 48 miles to the north east over the Queensferry Crossing. Given Newliston's location, there is a vast array of facilities which are readily accessible.
There are a multitude of independent schools in the city to choose from including Cargilfield (preparatory), Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, George Watson's College, George Heriot's, Merchiston (boys only) and St George's (girls only). Clifton Hall , an independent school offering education from age 3 to 18, is located only 3 miles from Newliston.
