Murrayfield is a tidy, mostly residential area built around the A8 Corstorphine Road, giving learners instant access to one of west Edinburgh's busiest corridors. Bus lanes, tram stops, pedestrian crossings and heavy traffic are all part of everyday lessons here.
Away from the main road, the streets around Murrayfield Avenue and Roseburn are calmer and ideal for manoeuvres, hill starts and quiet-road practice. The tram line along the corridor teaches tram awareness — an important skill for anyone learning in Edinburgh.
Murrayfield is well placed for the Currie test centre along the A70 or via the bypass.
Learners in Murrayfield usually take their test at Currie. Here is how it compares on DVSA's latest published figures:
