    Why Move to Edinburgh?

    Characterised by cobbled streets, beautiful castles, and an extensive and colourful arts programme, Edinburgh is Scotland’s hillside capital which combines historical prestige with cosmopolitan city living.

    The city has long been a leader in the fields of education and engineering and has proven a popular stomping ground for notable faces in the worlds or art and literature also.

    Edinburgh is fast becoming an attractive place not only for Scots to relocate to, but other people in the British Isles, in large part thanks to its thriving finance sector, expansive outdoor areas and affordable properties.

    Despite being the seventh most populous city in the UK, Edinburgh appears far less crowded than other major cities and is made extremely navigable by an extensive transport network. Glasgow is just under an hour away by train and London is around 4 hours.

    Not only are there more than 70km of traffic free cycle paths in the city, residents are spoilt by the plethora of nature and woodland trails throughout the city limits, including Glentress Forest. There is also Holyrood Park, a 650 acre grassland haven with its own loch, (extinct) volcano, cliffs and the remains of prehistoric forts.

    Edinburgh’s castle clad backdrop gives a nod back to the city’s medieval past at the heart of the Lothians, while the cobbled streets are themselves hot beds of social activity, including four Michelin star restaurants, a fabulous bar and café culture, and vibrant nightlife.

    Edinburgh is also a leading festival city with an enviable arts programme, which sees people from all corners of the world flock to the city for the largest Fringe Festival in the world and the Royal Military Tattoo.

    The city remains jovial well after the festival banners come down and was even ranked as one of the safest cities to live in the UK in a recent poll, which when considered with excellent schooling options, makes it an excellent location to raise a family, or live as a student or young professional.

    Edinburgh Schools & Education

    The Scottish educational system differs somewhat from the rest of the UK.

    For instance, it places much more of an emphasis on breadth across a range of subjects known as the ‘curriculum for Excellence’. Whilst other areas across the UK concentrate on a small range of core subjects.

    The Scottish Government has invested heavily in educational provision for Scotland. Children can start nursery school aged 3 to 4.

    Education is compulsory, and primary school starts depending on birth date between 4½ and 5½ up to the age of 16 when children leave school and move into higher or standard grade education.

    There are 18 nursery, 94 primary and 23 secondary schools administered by the City of Edinburgh Council.

    There are also four universities with Queen Margaret University being the oldest in Scotland and Edinburgh University being a world leading research institution and member of the prestigious Russel Group of universities.

    More information on researching and finding schools in the Edinburgh area can be found at the Easy Expat and School Guide websites.
