Greenbank, Edinburgh

Greenbank is a residential district of south Edinburgh, Scotland. It is situated between the districts of Morningside and Oxgangs, i.e. slightly to the south-west of the heart of Morningside. The area was originally developed in the late 19th century, being completed in the early 1930s. The former City Hospital closed in 1999, after which modern flats and houses were constructed on Greenbank Drive, some of which incorporate parts of the Victorian contagious diseases isolation hospital. The area of the new development has become known as Greenbank Village.

Church
Greenbank Parish Church was founded in 1900 in Edinburgh, originally belonging to United Presbyterian Church. The original church building is now one of the church's halls. The church joined the Church of Scotland in 1929, just after the new church hall was built. A centenary hall and various meeting rooms were constructed in 2001.

Public transport
Public Transport is frequent with Lothian Buses operating scheduled services. Bus routes 5, 16, and 23 plus night service N16 all serve the area.
