Location:
Penicuik is a hidden gem for those who want a relaxed lifestyle without losing touch with Edinburgh's urban conveniences; Princes Street is ten miles away, equating to a twenty - five-minute journey.

The town lies on the A701 midway between Edinburgh and Peebles, east of the Pentland Hills and offers a good balance between affordability and accessibility, it's ideal for families, professionals, and retirees alike. The town has a strong sense of community and plenty of green spaces, plus the bonus of being surrounded by open countryside that stretches to the Borders making it perfect for those who like the outdoors.

Self- sufficient, Penicuik provides good quality shopping. For the most part, the town centre is pedestrianised, making shopping accessible and consequently easy. Alongside the various shops, there is both a Tesco Superstore and a Lidl. Straiton Retail Park is a ten-minute drive and offers a comprehensive selection of retail outlets including: Asda, ikea, Costco, Sainsbury's and M&S.

With no fewer than five primary schools in the town, Penicuik offers plenty of choice in terms of primary education. For secondary education options, pupils have the choice of two high schools: Penicuik High School, on Carlops Road and Beeslack Community High School.

Located at Hillend, just 10 minutes from Penicuik, Midlothian Snowsports Centre is the largest dry ski facility in Europe, while Penicuik Leisure Centre is on Carlops Road.

Penicuik is well served by a regular public transport service operating to Edinburgh and the neighbouring towns. The City Bypass is within easy reach linking to the wider motorway networks, Edinburgh International Airport and the Queensferry Crossing.
