'''Baberton''' is a suburb of [[Edinburgh]], the capital of [[Scotland]]. It is known as Baberton Mains, It is south-west of the [[Edinburgh City Bypass]] and [[Wester Hailes]] and south of the [[Shotts Line]] railway line. The village of [[Juniper Green]] is situated to the south of Baberton and Baberton Golf Course is to the west.
Most of Baberton Mains comprises a [[housing estate]] built in the early 1970s by [[George Wimpey]]. All streets take the "Baberton Mains" name but some streets in Juniper Green take the name Baberton and not Baberton Mains.
