Speaking up for the people of Merchiston  
Local Education

We are quite well endowed with educational establishments in our ward, both private and local authority.

Primary Schools
Bruntsfield - feeds Boroughmuir High School
Craiglockhart - feeds Tynecastle High School
George Watson's College
Rudolf Steiner

It must be noted that the High School catchment areas are based on the student's home address and not the primary school attended. Having said that if you are in the catchment area for one then you are in the catchment area for the other.

Secondary Schools

Boroughmuir High School
George Watson’s College
Rudolf Steiner

University

Napier University - one of the university campuses is in our ward and in fact contains the remnants of Napier Tower within the modern quadrangle.
