Craigmillar is an area of Edinburgh situated roughly a mile south-east of Holyrood Park. The lands previously associated with Craigmillar Castle are now occupied principally by 20th century housing estates. The area is currently undergoing significant change involving the demolition of some of this council housing and regeneration of the area including new housing and community facilities.
