CORSTORPHINE
With splendid views across the Firth of Forth, this area lies west of Edinburgh city centre and dates back to the Middle Ages. It is home to the ever-popular Edinburgh Zoo. All that remains of Corstorphine Castle is a rare dovecote shaped like a beehive. It was near this spot that a notorious murder took place in the 17th century.
