B1350 Link in Edinburgh

The B1350 is a short link in Edinburgh that cuts the corner between Leith Walk A900 and Montrose Terrace / London Road A1. It was the highest-numbered Class II road in zone 1 in the 1922 road lists, and still follows the same route.

Heading west

The western end of the B1350 is a signalised T junction on the A900 Leith Walk. Prior to the extension of Edinburgh's trams system, this junction was a large roundabout, but it has been remodelled to better accommodate the tram crossing. The route heads east on London Road and almost immediately a small road forks right and up the side of Calton Hill into Blenheim Place, which soon becomes Royal Terrace, notable for some very fine early 19th century housing. Back on the the B1350, the north side of London Road is called Leopold Place, and Royal Terrace Gardens (a park, not a row of houses) rise up the slope to the south; in between the B1350 offers a wide, straight route, generally S4 including a bus lane on each side. Before long, Hillside Crescent curves off to the left, leaving London Road to a leafy run between parks before the crescent curves back a little before the eastern end of Royal Terrace Gardens.

Beyond the gardens, the B1350 crosses Easter Road at traffic lights, and although unclassified it is one of the main routes to Leith to the north; to the south a short section of Easter Road curves uphill to the A1 and a short cul de sac named West Norton Place forks off it. The easternmost part of the B1350 is called East Norton Place, and it runs for a short distance between the shops and houses of the Abbeyhill district, before meeting the A1 itself at more traffic lights. The A1 arrives from the southwest as Montrose Terrace and continues as London Road. The terraces to the left past the junction sit end on to the road, and are a curious Edinburgh design of flats, each with a garden, so the front doors are on opposite sides, and the upper flats have external steps from their garden to front door. There concludes a short but mostly picturesque route, combining elegant New Town architecture and leafy parkland.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Link in Edinburgh
