Gardens and Grounds
The grounds are a defining feature of Millburn Tower. Mature specimen trees, expansive lawns and established gardens create an atmosphere more commonly associated with a rural estate than a property situated within Edinburgh’s city boundary.

The elevated position provides attractive views across the surrounding landscape towards the Pentland Hills, while the extensive planting ensures privacy and shelter. The grounds offer exceptional amenity and provide a beautiful setting for both the principal house and lodge.

A range of garages and outbuildings further enhances the property’s practicality, offering useful storage, workshop and estate facilities.

Despite feeling more akin to a country estate than a city property, the estate is exceptionally well placed for access to Edinburgh’s extensive amenities, business districts and transport connections.

Surrounded by established woodland and open green space, the property offers a lifestyle rarely found within the capital. The mature grounds and peaceful setting provide an atmosphere of tranquillity and escape, while remaining only minutes from Edinburgh Park, The Gyle Shopping Centre and Edinburgh Airport. Edinburgh city centre is readily accessible, offering an outstanding range of cultural attractions, restaurants, galleries, retail destinations and business facilities.
