Craigcrook is a quiet residential pocket of north-west Edinburgh tucked between Queensferry Road and the slopes of Corstorphine Hill. Craigcrook Road and its side streets are gently sloping and generally calm, which makes them a good place for early lessons and for practising hill starts without heavy traffic behind you.
From here you're a few minutes from Queensferry Road for dual-carriageway driving and from the Clermiston and Corstorphine Road corridors for busier junctions and bus-lane practice, so lessons can cover a lot of variety without long transfers.
Test centre: Currie is the usual choice from here, with Musselburgh an option; your instructor will build routes around whichever you book.
