Trinity is a well-regarded suburb of northern Edinburgh, Scotland, once a part of Greater Leith (itself a part of the city since 1920). As with many other city suburbs, the name has broader and narrower meanings. Generally it may be taken to mean the part of town lying between Ferry Road or Inverleith to the south, and the coast to the north. It is bordered by Granton to the west, and Newhaven to the east. Trinity Academy is one of the historic schools of the city.

  • Trinity is a well-regarded suburb of northern Edinburgh, Scotland, once a part of Greater Leith (itself a part of the city since 1920). As with many other city suburbs, the name has broader and narrower meanings. Generally it may be taken to mean the part of town lying between Ferry Road or Inverleith to the south, and the coast to the north. It is bordered by Granton to the west, and Newhaven to the east. Trinity Academy is one of the historic schools of the city. The area began as a mansion house district in the nineteenth century, being broadly comparable in style to The Grange area of Edinburgh (Trinity is sometimes referred to as Leith's Grange). The style of housing is now very mixed as the area has always been seen as desirable and developers have accordingly been keen to build, usually in the preferred architectural style of their period. The area has many attractive streets and The Victoria Park adds to the area's amenity as does a large number of cycle paths and walkways derived from the city's disused northern suburban railway lines. East Trinity Road is typical in having property types ranging from original mansions, victorian terraces and fine victorian tenements, cottages and a plethora of modern developments. Craighall Crescent offers one of Edinburgh's finest Victorian Crescents on one side of the street with much later houses on the other side. Trinity Park House, an unusual low-rise office block built for the National Health Service (NHS) in the 1970s, was demolished between 2006 and 2008 and is to be replaced with a development of apartments, retaining the walled garden. The office, set in 26,480 m² of grounds, attracted fans and critics, being of a modern style unlike anything in its surroundings, but nevertheless sensitively incorporating mature trees into its grounds and using gentle curves and a muted gold colour-scheme. The replacement housing development has attracted its own controversy because of its scale and proposed style. The NHS department has relocated to the edge of the city at South Gyle. Wardie Parish Church is one of a number of Church of Scotland churches in Trinity.
