About Wester Hailes
- Wester Hailes was built between 1969 and 1975 as one of Edinburgh's largest peripheral housing estates, designed to rehouse residents from the city's overcrowded inner-city tenements. The estate was notable for its system-built high-rise and deck-access housing, much of which has since been demolished and replaced with lower-density housing as part of the regeneration programme.
- The Wester Hailes Education Centre, which opened in 1978, was one of the first community schools in Scotland — a model that combined a secondary school with community facilities including a swimming pool, sports hall, library, and arts centre. The centre has been a vital community resource for over four decades and continues to serve residents of all ages.
- The Union Canal passes through the northern edge of Wester Hailes and provides a green corridor connecting the neighbourhood to the city centre and to the Falkirk Wheel. The canal towpath is a popular walking and cycling route, and the canal itself is used by kayakers and narrowboats throughout the year.
