Hello, we are from Vancouver BC and we are planninng to move to Edinburgh next Sept. We have a 6yr. old son and want to find an area similar to the one we live in Vancouver. We are in a area of Downtown called Coal Harbour. It's in the downtown area of Vancouver but out of the business district and you can walk everywhere with either a seawall or paths thru the city or tube stations or biking paths. Does this kind of neighbourhood exist in Edinburgh? Sorry to sound so ignorant of Edinburgh, we were there 7 years ago on our honeymoon and loved it, but didn't look around it from a parents POV as we weren't yet. Safe, family orientated, well appointed primary schools, walking distance/biking/ or tubes to shops and attractions? We want to live in a 3 bedroom flat or house with a bit of garden if that exists in the city.The main thing is we want to be able to walk around the city and not have to drive and in an area with a well appointed primary school. Any help from families that live in the city with children would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Blueiss
