Eh11 and 12 cover everything from mansions in Murrayfield to some areas you wouldn't want to venture into without an armed guard. Generally a brilliant area especially round Corstorphine.

Forgot to mention, you get the best mince pies probably in the world at the butchers at Stenhouse Cross (EH11), they are worth moving to Edinburgh for alone.
