North Edinburgh includes Drylaw, Granton, Muirhouse, Royston Wardieburn and West Pilton. The area has, over the years, been called, ‘the small north Edinburgh’, ‘Greater Pilton’ or ‘Pilton’.
We focus on this area because statistics show us that people who live here experience considerable disadvantage, and this has been the case for many years.
