Stockbridge is a striking area of Edinburgh that is just a stone's throw away from Princes Street, next to the New Town and Comely Bank. The actual Stock Bridge was built in 1801 and spans the Water of Leith, making it a popular location for people who want to live somewhere beautiful and rich in history. Other areas close to Stockbridge include Dean, Inverleith and Fettes.
