Wallyford
Surrounded by barley fields and overlooking the grey shores of the Firth of Forth, Wallyford is a picturesque little village just seven miles from the city of Edinburgh.

Your new home in Wallyford will benefit from a new primary school, a new village centre and community woodland as well as an existing playgroup, library, Post Office, gym and Miners’ social club.
