Dist:0.3km<br/>The Church of Scotland parish kirk serving Muirhouse. It would look a lot better without the non-matching concrete blocks to the left.

Dist:0.4km<br/>One of several towerblocks in the area, Martello Court. This one is still in use, but many of the other, smaller, blocks are empty and boarded up, ready for demolition or redevelopment.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A new school, built in 2009 and formally opened in 2010, on Pennywell Road. It replaces an earlier school, built in 1960 in the next square south - just as well, as that was burnt down and had to be demolished in 2010.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Modern houses and flats in a cul-de-sac off Muirhouse Drive.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is the only building left on a large cleared site both sides of Muirhouse Crescent. In March 2009 demolition began at Muirhouse Way, and blocks of flats at Muirhouse Avenue, Crescent and Loan have since come down. They will be replaced by a mixed development of homes for sale and for rent.

Dist:0.5km<br/>It looks as if this area has been recently mown after growing rather out of control.
