Newliston

Newliston is a district located in the western part of Edinburgh, Scotland. It lies to the north of the Edinburgh Airport and to the east of the Firth of Forth. Historically, Newliston was a rural area dominated by agriculture and estates.

Newliston House, a historic country house, is a significant landmark in the area. The house and its surrounding estate have a long history and have undergone various periods of development and ownership. The landscape surrounding Newliston House is noted for its designed landscape, potentially containing elements of historical gardens and parkland.

The area has seen increased development in recent decades, particularly in the form of housing and infrastructure improvements associated with the expansion of Edinburgh. The A8 road, a major route connecting Edinburgh with the west of Scotland, passes through or near Newliston.

Due to its location on the periphery of Edinburgh, Newliston provides a mixture of rural and suburban environments. This includes residential areas, agricultural land, and transportation infrastructure. The area is subject to ongoing development pressures related to the growth of the city.
