Restalrig, meaning “ridge of the miry land,” boasts a fascinating history that stretches back to 1165, when Edward de Lestalric built a church on the site. Over the centuries, the area has witnessed key moments in Scotland’s past. Legend tells us that Richard III of England camped at Restalrig after capturing Berwick-upon-Tweed. King James IV of Scotland, a frequent visitor, made offerings at the altars of Our Lady and Saint Triduana while his artillery was being prepared nearby for his campaign in England.
These days, however, Restalrig offers a peaceful, picturesque retreat on the outskirts of Edinburgh City Centre. This tranquil suburb blends quiet living with rich historical charm, making it a unique place to call home. The area’s past is still evident at every turn, from the ancient Deanery Walls to Saint Triduana’s shrine, and even the iconic old Edinburgh Police Box.
