About Niddrie
- Niddrie was developed as a large council housing estate in the 1930s and expanded significantly in the post-war period. Like many similar estates, it faced significant social challenges in the latter decades of the twentieth century, but sustained regeneration investment from the 1990s onwards has transformed much of the housing stock and improved community facilities.
- Fort Kinnaird Retail Park, which borders Niddrie, is one of the largest retail parks in Scotland and includes major stores, a cinema, and a wide range of restaurants and cafés. The park draws shoppers from across Edinburgh and the Lothians and is one of the most visited retail destinations in the city.
- Newcraighall, the nearest railway station to Niddrie, sits on the Borders Railway line that reopened in 2015 after a gap of nearly fifty years. The station provides direct services to Edinburgh Waverley and is the northernmost station on the line, which runs south through Midlothian and the Scottish Borders to Tweedbank near Galashiels.
