Question

Which parts of Edinburgh are called The Inch?

Answer 1

The Inch is an area of Edinburgh, South of Cameron Toll, North of Gilmerton, East of Liberton, West of Dalkeith Road and the New Royal Infirmary.

Two miles due South of the City Centre, it is series of 50's housing schemes (mostly two floors) on both sides of Gilmerton Road. A couple of small rows of shops, a couple of small parks and that's about it.

Some 80's housing added around the nicely named 'double hedges road', and some new flats in the last few years. One of Edinburgh's fire stations is in this area.
