Almond (ward)

Almond ward
Location of the ward within Edinburgh[1]

Almond is one of the 17 wards of the City of Edinburgh Council.[2] Established in 2007 along with the other wards, it currently elects four councillors.

The River Almond flows through much of its territory, which covers the north-western edge of the city – Barnton, Cammo, Cramond, Davidson's Mains, Muirhouse (a 2017 boundary change addition which increased the population and consequently the number of councillors) and Silverknowes – and outlying communities at Dalmeny, Kirkliston, Newbridge and South Queensferry, adjoining West Lothian and the natural boundary of the Firth of Forth. In 2019, the ward had a population of 36,730.[3]
