About Drylaw - Planning Applications & Local Development
Drylaw is a residential area in the northwest of Edinburgh, nestled between Blackhall and Granton, and part of the Drylaw–Telford community. Originally the estate of Drylaw House, constructed in 1718, the area underwent significant development in the 1950s to accommodate residents displaced from Leith. Situated along the A902 road, Drylaw's name derives from Scots, meaning "hill without a spring," reflecting its historical roots.
There are currently no active flood warnings for the Drylaw area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Drylaw a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
