Two kinds of demand, one compact city
Morningside, Marchmont and Bruntsfield sit within walking distance of each other and the Meadows, so a midday round needs no car. Stockbridge adds Inverleith Park and some of the best-paying pet care clients in Scotland. Leith brings younger owners in flats whose dogs need a daily outing, and Arthur’s Seat gives you a weekend route worth charging more for.
