More about our area
Our NP area has a population of 48,500 people, ranging in
density from three people per hectare in the Pentlands to 14 in
Fairmilehead. This diversity is reflected in the housing stock,
which includes high-rise blocks, detached houses and everything in
between.
The Riccarton campus of Heriot Watt University falls within this
area, as does the Pentland Hills Regional Park. The Redford and
Dreghorn Barracks come under the area, along with no fewer than
five golf courses.
For the most part, people in the Pentlands Neighbourhood
Partnership area enjoy better health, higher employment and lower
crime than other parts of the city (data from the 2001 Census Key
Statistics).
