What is Broomhouse, Edinburgh?
'''Broomhouse''' is a district of [[Edinburgh]], [[Scotland]]. Although on the lands of Old Saughton, its name is adopted from an estate which lay to the north of the Edinburgh and [[Glasgow Railway]]. The earliest recorded versions of the name (c.1600) were variations on Brum(e)hous. It mainly comprises a low-rise council housing estate built between 1947 and 1950. It borders on [[Parkhead]], [[Sighthill]], and [[Saughton Mains]]. The arterial route of Calder Road (A71) passes to the south. {{UK-stub}} [[Category:Edinburgh]]
