Hello, we are from Vancouver BC and we are planninng to move to Edinburgh next Sept. We have a 6yr. old son and want to find an area similar to the one we live in Vancouver. We are in a area of Downtown called Coal Harbour. It's in the city area of Vancouver but out of the business district and you can walk everywhere one either a seawall or paths thru the city or tube stations or biking paths. Does this kind of neighbourhood exist in Edinburgh? Safe, family orientated, good schools, walking distance/biking/ or tubes to shops and attractions? We want to live in a house with a bit of garden if that exists in the city. Any help from families that live in the city with children would be much appreciated. ie.. which areas to avoid, well appointed primary schools,safe,
