**Location**
The land is located on the north - west edge of the village of Howgate, which is
small conservation village within south Midlothian. The area is predominantly
rural, with a number of village houses close by to the north and south, but
with open fields and views to the Pentland Hills dominating the surroundings.
The land is accessed off the B7026 public road, which runs north from the
village and joins the A701, approximately three miles to the north, with
Edinburgh City centre being approximately eleven miles north from the plot and
land.
Howgate is a small, rural, conservation village, centred around a village
green. The village benefits from excellent access to Edinburgh and as such is
popular with commuters, however, it retains a real village community within a
pleasant rural area. Larger town services are available in Penicuik,
approximately two miles to the north - west, including primary and secondary
schooling. Major out of town shopping is available at Straiton, approximately
five miles to the north, along with Edinburgh Park and Ride facilities and
connections onto the A720, Edinburgh City By - pass.
**Directions**
From the Straiton junction on the A720, Edinburgh City By - pass, head south on
the A701, signposted to Penicuik. Continue towards Penicuik on the A701 at the
“Gowkley Moss Roundabout” but just after, branch off to the left onto the
B7026 at Auchendinny. Continue on the B7026 through Auchendinny and the hamlet
of Loanstone. Approximately one mile beyond Loanstone, the road enters the
Howgate “30” limit and the land is on the right hand side at the bottom of the
hill, before the roundabout.
