If you can drive in Morningside, you can drive almost anywhere in Edinburgh. Lessons here are built around one of the city's busiest shopping streets — Morningside Road — with its buses, pedestrian crossings, cyclists and constant parked-car meeting situations, plus the notorious five-way junction at Holy Corner in Bruntsfield.
It's also brilliant hill-start territory. The streets climbing between Bruntsfield, Merchiston and Greenbank mean you'll practise clutch control on gradients from early on, and the run south through Fairmilehead puts you on the city bypass (A720) for higher-speed dual-carriageway driving when you're ready.
Morningside learners usually sit their driving test at the Currie test centre, reached along the bypass or through Colinton — so lessons here naturally cover the faster roads and rural edges that feature on Currie test routes.
Learners in Morningside & Bruntsfield usually take their test at Currie. Here is how it compares on DVSA's latest published figures:
Pass rate: car tests, April 2025 to March 2026. Median wait: September 2026. Source: DVSA (DRT122A, DRT122F), Open Government Licence v3.0. How to read these figures →
You can book your driving test at any DVSA test centre, not only the nearest, so compare waits as well as pass rates — then plan your lessons to peak around your test date. Short on time? Ask about an intensive course. See every Edinburgh and Glasgow test centre.
