Water of Leith Conservation Trust Our local river has been wonderfullly restored over the past 10-20 years and now even hosts a family of otters! Kingfishers can be spotted and our local Grey Heron is frequently seen around Roseburn Park.

Murrayfield Ice Rink is a priceless community asset, owned and managed by a local family. Much loved by generations of city children and young people, Ice Hockey fans and many others. Sadly, due to Covid, the future looks bleak at the time of writing this, but it's hard to imagine our local community without this unique local facility.

Saughtonhall Drama Group puts on a show at the Fringe every year.

Wider community links

Our Saughtonhall neighbourhood is part of the wider Western Edinburgh network. SCA representatives are involved in working with others to address issues and influence local improvement plans. Organisations in the network, including the SCA, are keen to share the work that they are involved in and provide helpful information to our local communities.

Please take a look at the monthly 'Voluntary Sector Activity Programme' or the comprehensive 'Directory of Community Services' (updated quarterly).

Our local councillors, representing residents in Ward 6 - Corstorphine/Murrayfield, are Councillor Alan Beal, Councillor Fiona Bennett, and Councillor Euan Davidson.
