Bankhead is an area of west Edinburgh, Scotland. It borders the bypass (and Hermiston Gait) to the west, the Calders to the south, Sighthill to the east, and South Gyle/Edinburgh Park to the north. It is mostly occupied by a large industrial park. Amongst the companies here, Royal Mail and Burtons Biscuits have a large presence. Ethicon also had a plant here, but it has closed, and will reportedly be replaced by a sports facilities. Stevenson College, and the former Sighthill campus of Napier University are just to the west.
The main Edinburgh-Glasgow trainline passes along the northern boundary and is served by Edinburgh Park station. The dual carriageway Calder Road passes to the south.
