Located in the west of Edinburgh, Saughton is a suburb of Scotland’s Capital surrounded by the areas of Broomhouse, Stenhouse, Longstone and Carrick Knowe.
The name comes from the willows that grew on the banks of the Water of Leith that flows through the neighbourhood - ‘sauch’ is the name of the trees in Lowland Scots.
Saughton is perhaps best known for being the location of HM Prison Edinburgh, which is still more commonly known as Saughton Prison.

The building of the prison began in 1914, with the first prisoner arriving in 1919.
It’s also home to the large green space of Saughton Park which contains Scotland’s largest skatepark.
Close by sits the large government building of Saughton House which, despite its name, is actually in the neighbouring area of Broomhill.
