Historic Environment Scotland ↗

World heritage site: Edinburgh World Heritage Site Boundary

Nationally designated heritage. Its significance and setting carry great weight.

Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.

Historic Environment Scotland ↗

Old Town conservation area

Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.

The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.

Scheduled monument 89 m away: Edinburgh Castle/Caisteal Dhùn Èideann

Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.

Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.

Historic Environment Scotland ↗

SSSI 89 m away: Arthur's Seat Volcano

Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.

Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.

Also on the record

Radon affected area, class 3.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3

Checked on 6 October 2026.
