Inverleith and Comely Bank combine broad, calm residential roads with easy access to some of the city's busier corridors. Streets around Inverleith Park and Comely Bank Road are ideal for first lessons, parking and gradual progress, with plenty of room to practise manoeuvres.
Ferry Road and Queensferry Road are close for bus lanes, signalled junctions and faster A-road driving, and the roads around the Botanic Garden bring in heavier visitor traffic and pedestrian crossings. It's a well-rounded patch for steady progress.
