The school was one of three all-girls, private, fee-paying schools based in the Edinburgh district.

Mayfield is an area of Edinburgh, Scotland, about one mile south from the city centre, with Craigmillar to the south-east and Newington to the north. Mayfield is also the name of several streets in the area. The area is affluent and mostly residential, with a large number of small hotels, a few shops, and an NHS dentist on Mayfield Road. The area is dominated by Mayfield Salisbury Church.

Mayfield Salisbury Church is a member of the Church of Scotland, part of the worldwide family of the Christian Church. It is situated approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Edinburgh city centre at the junction of Mayfield Road and West Mayfield. The building was designed by the renowned Scottish architect, Hippolyte Blanc and the main building work took place between 1875 and 1879. It is particularly renowned for the range and quality of its stained glass. An extensive internal renovation of the sanctuary was undertaken in 2009.

The Edinburgh Geographical Institute was founded as a map publishers by famed Scottish geographer and cartographer John George Bartholomew in 1888.

East Suffolk Park, the former Suffolk Road Halls of Residence, is a B-listed quadrangle of buildings set around a large central grassed area in the Newington suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was originally built as hostel accommodation for women students attending the University of Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Provincial Training College. Designed by Allan Keith Robertson in the Arts and Crafts style, the first two hostels, Balfour House and Buchanan House were opened in 1916. The third, Playfair House was opened one year later. The last two buildings, Carlyle House and Darroch House, which completed the quadrangle, were designed by Robertson's successor Frank Wood and opened in 1927. In 1939 the complex became an internment camp for enemy aliens and in 1940 handed over to the Auxiliary Territorial Service. It later became the Newington Campus of Moray House Teacher Training College. The complex was subsequently sold and converted to private residential accommodation.

Salisbury Green is an eighteenth-century house, on the Pollock Halls of Residence site of the University of Edinburgh.Originally built around 1780 by Alexander Scott, it is one of the two original buildings on site, along with St Leonard's Hall. From 1820, the house was extended repeatedly. In 1860-67 the architect John Lessels remodelled in house in baronial style, for the publisher William Nelson (1816–1887), of the Thomas Nelson publishing company. The university acquired the building after World War II and it was extended again in 1979. Several of its public rooms have been restored including the bow-fronted drawing room to the east, the Red Room with ebony fittings and the oak-panelled billiard room. Its interior includes rich painting by Charles Frechou. In 2006, Salisbury Green was given a thorough refurbishment, and is now operated by the university as the Salisbury Green Hotel. It no longer houses students. The building (including its boundary walls) has been category A listed since December 1970.

Edinburgh Synagogue was opened in 1932 and is located on Salisbury Road in the Newington area of Edinburgh. It is the home of the Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation (EHC) which was founded in 1816. Prior to the opening of the 1932 building, the congregation worshipped at a converted chapel on Graham Street which had served as its synagogue since 1898.The Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation is a mainstream Orthodox congregation under the auspices of the Chief Rabbi.

Newington Cemetery is a cemetery in Edinburgh, Scotland. Technically it lies beyond Newington itself, standing on an awkward elongated kite-shaped site between a railway line and Dalkeith Road, between Prestonfield and Peffermill.

The School of Chemistry is a school of the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) the school was ranked sixth in the UK.

The Scottish Instrumentation and Research Centre for Advanced Mass Spectrometry (SIRCAMS) is a facility for ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry of biomolecules. SIRCAMS is based in the University of Edinburgh School of Chemistry.Much of the research activity is focused toward the development and application of mass spectrometry for the analysis of intact peptides, proteins, protein–protein, and protein–RNA/DNA complexes. Recent studies have included: identification of platination sites in peptides (bombesin, substance P, angiotensin, bradykinin) using Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD), Collision-induced dissociation (CID) and Electron-capture dissociation (ECD), accurate mass measurements on intact proteins (YdaE 6.5kDa, ubiquitin 8.6kDa, trypsinogen 24kDa, carbonic anhydrase 28kDa, beSOD 31kDa, FbpA 33kDa, BSA 66kDa) under native and denaturing conditions, identification of dynamic post-translational modifications in intact human histones using top-down ECD, top-down identification of proteins from complex mixtures, as well as accurate mass analysis of oligonucleotide DNA strands (40 bp). The capital cost of FTICR instruments operating at field strengths higher than 9.4 T are such that few University institutions worldwide can offer access. SIRCAMS offers user access to a 12T Bruker SolariX FTICR mass spectrometer within the facility. By taking advantage of the research expertise that has been developed by staff within the facility, users have access to techniques for accurate mass measurement of intact proteins with isotope peak fitting, top-down protein sequencing from complex mixtures (such as biomarker identification) solution and gas-phase HDX for protein conformational studies, mapping of post-translational modifications in peptides and proteins, and identification of DNA modifications.

The Royal Commonwealth Pool is a category-A-listed building in Edinburgh that houses one of Scotland's main swimming pools. It is usually referred to simply as the Commonwealth Pool and known colloquially as the 'Commie'.
