Craigour

Craigour is a neighbourhood of southeast Edinburgh, Scotland, next to the A7 (Old Dalkeith Road). It is surrounded on the east by the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary just across the A7; on the north by Liberton Golf Club; and on the west and south by the neighbourhoods of Moredun, Moredunvale and Fernieside. The Burdiehouse Burn flows through the area.
For such a small area, Craigour consists of a wide variety of house types. Some prefabs built in the 1950s still exist; however, most of these have been replaced by newer and permanent housing. There is 1980s private housing in a band immediately next to the A7, as well as council housing in the form of maisonettes plus four high-rise (16-storey) blocks (Castleview House, Little France House, Marytree House and Moredun House). Along the A7 road which passes Craigour to the east, are Victorian and pre-Victorian houses, in the form of the Little France and Pentecox clusters of houses.
Craigour has a nearby primary school (technically just outwith its boundaries between Moredun and Fernieside), a pub (close to the Royal Infirmary just across the main road), corner shop and bookmaker adjacent to one another.
