Broughton, Edinburgh
Area of Edinburgh, Scotland
About
Broughton () is an area of Edinburgh, Scotland. Broughton was an ancient feudal barony that existed outside of Edinburgh before it was later incorporated into the city as urban development took place in the 18th and 19th centuries. The area is mostly residential in nature but includes the former Broughton market. Today there are numerous small businesses as well as several listed church buildings, a gallery and some organisations, including the Edinburgh Museums collection centre and the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust (the Glasite meeting house).
