About

Southside/Newington is a densely populated residential and academic ward immediately south of Edinburgh's Old Town. The area is defined by its student population and proximity to the University of Edinburgh's central campus, giving it a busy, transient character. Its streets are a mix of Georgian and Victorian tenements housing a large number of private rentals and multiple-occupancy flats. The main thoroughfare of Nicolson Street and Clerk Street forms a busy commercial corridor with shops, cafes, and budget-friendly services catering to the local community.

The eastern edge of the ward is anchored by the expansive green space of The Meadows, a popular park for recreation and sports. To the west, the area includes parts of the historic South Side, bordering the university's George Square buildings. A distinctive local landmark is the "Kissing Gate" entrance to the Meadows from Middle Meadow Walk, a familiar meeting point. The ward's demographic is notably young, with a high concentration of university staff and students shaping its daily rhythms and economy.
