Westfield Court is crescent-shaped eight-storey tower block with balconies which was built as public housing for Edinburgh Borough Council. Construction was approved for the project in 1949. Westfield Court is situated off Alexander Drive in Gorgie an area in the South west of the city. There are few houses in the area but many modern blocks of flats to complement the Victorian tenements. There is a wide range of local shops as well as some large supermarkets, traditional pubs, Tynecastle football ground and Gorgie City Farm.
