About Merchiston
Merchiston is a quiet, leafy residential area in south-west Edinburgh, centred around Merchiston Avenue and Colinton Road. The neighbourhood sits between Bruntsfield to the east and Craiglockhart to the west, with easy access to the city centre. Properties include grand Victorian stone-built villas — many now subdivided into spacious flats — alongside Edwardian terraces and some newer developments near the Napier University campus. The area’s older homes often feature original cornicing, deep skirting boards, and timber sash windows that benefit from experienced decorating. Bert’s Decorating understands these properties and brings the right preparation and products to every job.
