Revision as of 10:15, 11 October 2008

Blackhall is a suburb in the north west of the Scottish capital city Edinburgh.

It is mainly residential served by facilities including a library and a small selection of shops. The majority of the housing in the neighbourhood was constructed in the inter-war period, although the recent housing boom has seen new development on the northern slope of Corstorphine Hill. This development went ahead despite considerable opposition from the local community and an unusual planning quirk which allowed the development to go ahead based on forty-year-old outline permission.[citation needed] Blackhall has numerous community and church based groups including a bowling club, and horticultural society. There is a local community council, Craigleith/Blackhall, that serves the area.

The local school has recently been extended and parts rebuilt, as has the local Royal High School.

One of the main arterial routes of the city goes through the area, which borders Drylaw, Davidson's Mains, and Craigcrook.

Blackhall, as part of the EH4 directory, was declared to have the second highest number of millionaires in the United Kingdom and the highest in Scotland.
