Discover Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, a World Heritage city built around a castle on an extinct volcano and the medieval Old Town. The city combines this historic centre with significant tram, transport and financial district development, and Leith, Haymarket and Morningside are among its varied neighbourhoods. People need to be in Edinburgh for work on city centre developments and across the Lothians. Edinburgh Waverley sits at the centre of the rail and tram network, the tram runs directly to the airport in around thirty five minutes, and the city bypass and motorways reach the rest of Scotland. The area offers a good range of shops, restaurants and everyday services close to where people are working. Whichever part of the area you need, WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around Edinburgh with one point of contact.
