Heriot Watt University and Oriam, Scotland's Sports Performance Centre, are also closeby. The area enjoys superb recreational, leisure and sports facilities including rivers and reservoirs on the doorstep, a popular local rugby Club, horse riding at the Pentland Hills Trekking Centre and golf at the nearby Dalmahoy Golf and Country Club. There are excellent transport links via bus, train and tram from Edinburgh Park and Curriehill train station and major road networks including the City Bypass and M8 can be accessed in minutes.
