Turnhouse

Turnhouse

Turnhouse is a suburb in the west of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.

The area is east of Edinburgh International Airport, and Turnhouse is also the name for the former Royal Air Force base, now closed, which dates back to the First World War and was the origin of the current civilian airport. It is now used for cargo ops in tandem with the main Edinburgh Airport.

Turnhouse is the home of Turnhouse Golf Club at Lennie Park.
