Area checks

Sources & method →

Street checks use all published OS Open Names bounding extents, not a street centreline or building boundary. This conservative screen can include nearby land; tree checks add 25 m; flood checks use the original extents without an added buffer. Always check an exact address before relying on a result.

School catchments

Primary · non-denominational: Preston Street Primary School, Royal Mile Primary School, Tollcross Primary School
Primary · Roman Catholic: St Mary's (Edinburgh) RC Primary, St Peter's RC Primary
Secondary · non-denominational: James Gillespie's High
Secondary · Roman Catholic: St Thomas of Aquin's RC High

Streets and postcodes can cross catchments. This does not promise one school or a place. Check the property number with the council.

Flood map context

River: No mapped intersection
Coastal: No mapped intersection
Surface water: High likelihood mapped

Highest current likelihood intersecting the street extent or postcode centre, with no added buffer. Low likelihood is background context, not a headline flag. An intersection may be a small patch, not a building. Not a property verdict. Absence of mapped flooding does not mean no risk.

The midpoint of Lauriston Place falls inside the Old Town Conservation Area, based on City of Edinburgh Council boundary data. Long streets can cross a boundary, so check the exact address on the council's interactive map.

Historic Environment Scotland has 30 listed building records whose title names Lauriston Place and which are mapped along it: 4 Category A, 22 Category B, 4 Category C. Each record in the table on this page links to its official listing.

What does this mean if I'm buying a home on Lauriston Place?

Conservation area status and listing can mean extra rules for alterations such as replacing windows, and listing can cover a building's interior. It isn't a judgement on a property's condition. Read what a conservation area means when you buy, buying a flat in a listed building and our pre-offer checklist.
