North Platt Crescent forms part of the highly regarded “Craigpark” development by CALA Homes, situated in the Conservation village of Ratho. Situated on Edinburgh’s North Western fringe, Ratho is well positioned for ease of access to the City Centre, as well as Edinburgh International Airport and Central Scotland’s arterial road and rail network. The village itself is serviced by a useful selection of amenities, including a convenience store and a well-regarded local pub, The Bridge Inn, which overlooks the Union Canal, the 19th Century waterway with such ubiquity in the history of the wider Central Belt. Ratho has a local primary school and there is secondary schooling available in Balerno. Some five miles by car, The Gyle Shopping Centre has an extensive indoor shopping mall, populated with a wide range of High Street shops and two supermarkets. Hermiston Gait is just a little further afield and offers a range of shops including a large Tesco supermarket. The Edinburgh Tram offers direct access from the Airport to the city centre, with regular stations including a Park and Ride facility at Ingliston (about 3 miles). There are mainline railway connections at Edinburgh Park and South Gyle. Edinburgh airport is close at hand, as are road links to the Edinburgh city bypass, Glasgow and the central Scotland motorway network. The surrounding countryside hosts a wealth of leisure facilities, including the “Lost Shore Surf Resort” outside the village, Dalmahoy Country Club and golf course, Gogarburn and Ratho Park Golf Courses, the Norton House Hotel and Spa, and the popular Edinburgh International Climbing Arena. The national cycle network follows the Union Canal into central Edinburgh and there are ample opportunities for hill-walking and cycling in the Pentland Hills.
