{{Short description|none}} [[File:Edinburgh urban area (settlement area).jpg|thumb|The Edinburgh urban area comprises the adjoined [[List of towns and cities in Scotland by population#Localities|localities]]: Edinburgh, [[Musselburgh]], and [[Wallyford]].]] This page lists residential '''areas of Edinburgh''' situated in the [[Edinburgh]] ([[List of towns and cities in Scotland by population#Settlements|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 [[City_of_Edinburgh_Council#Wards|wards]] areas that are combined into four operational management areas termed "localities":<ref name="locality_improvement_plans">{{cite web |url=https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s29742/Locality%20Improvement%20Plans.pdf |title=Locality Improvement Plans|publisher=City of Edinburgh Council|access-date=2024-04-19}}</ref><ref name="localilies_evoc">{{cite web |url=https://www.evoc.org.uk/information/localities/|title=Localities - EVOC|publisher=EVOC|access-date=2024-04-19}}</ref> [[File:Edinburgh UK locality map with Edinburgh urban boundary 2017.svg|thumb|The four locality areas of the City of Edinburgh council area shown with the urban area boundary overlayed.]] {| |- |style="vertical-align: top;padding-right: 3em;padding-left: 2em;"| North East * [[Leith (Edinburgh ward)|Leith]] * [[Leith Walk (Edinburgh ward)|Leith Walk]] * [[Craigentinny/Duddingston (Edinburgh ward)|Craigentinny/Duddingston]] * [[Portobello/Craigmillar (Edinburgh ward)|Portobello/Craigmillar]] || North West * [[Almond (Edinburgh ward)|Almond]] * [[Drum Brae/Gyle (Edinburgh ward)|Drum Brae/Gyle]] * [[Corstorphine/Murrayfield (Edinburgh ward)|Corstorphine/Murrayfield]] * [[Forth (Edinburgh ward)|Forth]] * [[Inverleith (Edinburgh ward)|Inverleith]] |- |style="vertical-align: top;padding-right: 3em;padding-left: 2em;"| South East * [[City Centre (Edinburgh ward)|City Centre]] * [[Southside/Newington (Edinburgh ward)|Southside/Newington]] * [[Morningside (Edinburgh ward)|Morningside]] * [[Liberton/Gilmerton (Edinburgh ward)|Liberton/Gilmerton]] || South West * [[Sighthill/Gorgie (Edinburgh ward)|Sighthill/Gorgie]] * [[Colinton/Fairmilehead (Edinburgh ward)|Colinton/Fairmilehead]] * [[Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart]] * [[Pentland Hills (Edinburgh ward)|Pentland Hills]] |} The localities are further divided into Neighbourhood Partnership (NP) Areas:<ref name="update_south_east_and_city">{{cite web |url=https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/file/23662/papers-30-march-2017 |title=Update on locality working - South East and City Centre|publisher=City of Edinburgh Council|access-date=2024-04-19}}</ref><ref name="evoc">{{cite web |url=https://www.evoc.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/media/2016/01/localities-summary-and-localities-map.pdf|title=Localities summary and localities map|publisher=Edinburgh Voluntary Organisations’ Council (EVOC )|access-date=2024-04-19}}</ref> {| |- |style="vertical-align: top;padding-right: 3em;padding-left: 2em;"| North East * Leith NP * Craigentinny and Duddingston NP * Craigmillar and Portobello NP || North West * Almond NP * Western Edinburgh NP * Forth NP * Inverleith NP |- |style="vertical-align: top;padding-right: 3em;padding-left: 2em;"| South East * City Centre NP * South Central NP * Liberton/Gilmerton NP |style="vertical-align: top;"| South West * South West NP * Pentlands NP |} 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.
