Rooftops of Edinburgh Poster

Stockbridge is an area of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located towards the north of the city, bordering on the New Town. Stockbridge was originally a small village but was incorporated into the City of Edinburgh as it expanded. The actual "Stock Bridge" was built in 1801 and spans the Water of Leith. A main thoroughfare, Raeburn Place, contains many various shops and restaurants. Stockbridge is also noted for its numerous speciality shops including a cheese shop as well as multiple charity shops (some of which are among the highest grossing in the UK). In the 1960s one Stockbridge street, St. Stephen Street, was the hub of the bohemian hippy district of the city. It is now a highly sought after area of town with corresponding house and flat rental prices.
