This page lists residential areas of Edinburgh situated in the Edinburgh (settlement) urban area. The urban area of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is located in the City of Edinburgh council area and in East Lothian. The City of Edinburgh council area is divided into wards areas that are combined into four operational management areas termed "localities":[1][2]
|
North East |
North West |
|
South East |
South West |
The localities are further divided into Neighbourhood Partnership (NP) Areas:[3][4]
|
North East
|
North West
|
|
South East
|
South West

The Edinburgh urban area covers most of the Neighbourhood Partnership areas, however, some of the areas are only covered partly, in particular Almond NP and Pentlands NP. Likewise, less than half of the North West and the South West localities are part of the urban area. In addition to the areas inside the City of Edinburgh council area, Musselburgh and Wallyford in East Lothian also take part of the Edinburgh urban area.
Residential areas are situated inside or located across borders of the larger Neighbourhood Partnership areas or locality areas. The edges of the residential areas are generally defined by roads, though actual lines on the ground are not defined precisely. The names of areas are often given to major roads in those areas, although this is not always the case.
