Bellevue is an exclusively residential district on the fringe of the New Town on its north east flank, close to Canonmills. In the main, it comprises a wide variety of mainly Georgian style tenement properties, very similar to the architecture of the New Town, but interspersed with a variety of more modern properties. Needless to say, this is an exceptionally central location which, for the energetic, is within walking distance of Princes Street. Local shopping at Canonmills is first class with alternatives, equally nearby, at Broughton Street or St James Quarter. Either of these locations are well able to provide a great deal more than normal daily requirements. Furthermore, within these districts are banking, building society and post office services. However, the city centre is quite literally on the doorstep and it would be a simple matter to travel into the heart for a more extensive shopping trip, where there is every possible shopping facility, service and amenity. The Royal Botanic Gardens is only a short walk away, beyond that lies Inverleith Park. At Warriston the routes of old railway lines radiate out in a number of directions, providing almost country-like walks within the heart of the city. Regular bus services operate to all parts of the Capital and the nearby Tram Service runs straight through the City Centre and out to the Airport. Waverley Station and St Andrews Square Bus Station are also close by.
