If your at the rbs hq at gogar you are a stones throw from the gyle. Lots of decent priced rentals up there. Quite enough area as well. You will be a 10 minute walk to your work. If you choose a city centre rental/b and b there's a great bus and tram service that will get you to rbs in under 20 minutes.. |

True, still the right side of Broughton St, but not by much!

Don't sweat it too much, Abercromby is actually quite a long way from that stuff; pretty well to do.

The first question is probably whether it would suit you better to have your own place or to stay in a hotel/B&B. If you earn over £43,000 you might want to consider whether having a "home" in Scotland would make you a Scottish taxpayer, so that the higher rate of tax starts from there rather than wherever it starts for England (£45,000?). The sums are not huge and you may not mind paying extra. There are quite complex rules for people who have a "home" in Scotland as well as somewhere else in the UK. Living in a hotel/B&B may be less likely to count as having a "home" than renting a flat.

TBH, having lived in Edinburgh for almost 10 years there aren't many places you need to avoid if you are looking at city centre.

Good advice. Some parts of Bruntsfield/Marchmont can have high concentrations of student flats and so can be noisy, as can the Old Town due to tourists, bagpiping buskers etc. I'd say it was more like half an hour to walk from Marchmont/Bruntsfield to George St. Only Range Rovers since 1988 |
