Saughton (Scots: Sauchtoun) (Gaelic; Scottish Gaelic: Baile nan Seileach) is a suburb of the west of Edinburgh, Scotland, bordering Broomhouse, Stenhouse, Longstone and Carrick Knowe. In Lowland Scots, a "sauch" is a willow.[1] The Water of Leith flows by here.
It is the location of HM Prison Edinburgh, known colloquially as "Saughton Prison", in the south of the district.
The A71 road, one of the main city arteries, runs through the area – it is known here as Calder Road, becoming Stenhouse Road and Gorgie Road further east.
Saughton Park, a large public park, has facilities including Scotland's largest skatepark; it is located on the opposite side of Stenhouse from the core of the Saughton neighbourhood.
Actually situated in the Broomhouse area and fronting onto Broomhouse Drive, Saughton House is a large Government office, built in the 1950s, which houses the Scottish Government, Scottish Courts Service, and a number of other Government offices.
Saughton tram stop is located close to the junction of Broomhouse Drive and Saughton Road North, adjacent to the main railway lines though the area (the Glasgow–Edinburgh via Falkirk line is joined by the Fife Circle Line here).
