Silverknowes is a residential suburb in the north-west of Edinburgh. It is situated roughly three miles north-west of the city centre and about a mile south-east of Cramond. The area, which previously served as farm land, was developed as both private and council housing in the mid 20th century. Silverknowes Golf Course lies immediately to the north of the main housing development.
