Several highly regarded schools including Stewart's Melville College, St Georges, and Mary Erskine School are only minutes away, while the excellent Craigleith Retail Park, containing many high street outlets such as Marks and Spencer, Sainsburys and Boots to name but a few, is very accessible. Nearby Corstorphine Road offers a fast link towards the city by-pass, the International Airport, and the M8 and M9 motorway network. Queensferry Road to the north offers the busy commuter quick access to the Forth Crossing, Fife and the M90 motorway, with further speedy connections to other parts of the country. Amenities nearby include Murrayfield and Ravelston Golf courses, Edinburgh Zoo, Murrayfield Ice Rink, Edinburgh Sports Club, and Murrayfield Lawn Tennis Club.
