This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 82.132.228.120 (talk) at 19:08, 3 March 2018 (Pilton is not considered by local residents to be part of Granton, and was never in the same electoral division. It was more closely connected with Muirhouse, although quite distinct). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

West Pilton is a residential area of Edinburgh north of Ferry Road, east of Muirhouse, and immediately west of East Pilton and then Granton.

Most of West Pilton was formerly social housing constructed by the council between the 1930s-1950s (with a hiatus during the Second World War) but now these properties are largely privately owned. The housing mostly takes the form of maisonettes and three storey blocks of flats. In addition, new housing developments have been built by the private sector and the area is currently undergoing revitalisation. There are local shops and community services.
