Edinburgh is a northern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It is an industrial suburb dominated by RAAF Base Edinburgh and DSTO Edinburgh.
It was split from the suburb of Salisbury in 1997 when the Department of Defence decided to rationalise the then "DSTO Salisbury" site and sell off about 70% of the site, and surrounding "Defence-owned" Crown land, to form the "Edinburgh Parks" industrial estate.
Now, in addition to the RAAF Base and DSTO, there are a number of Defence contractors, a number of automotive component and parts manufacturers (supporting the Elizabeth Holden manufacturing plant), and other industries on land no longer required by the Department of Defence.
