Bonaly

Bonaly is a "leafy suburb" of Edinburgh, Scotland, in the south of the city. Most of the housing was built in the 1960s and 1990s on what was Bonaly farm. There is also a so-called "Roman Bath", but this stone-built pond is not believed to be genuinely Roman; it is instead likely to date from the 1920s.

The area is mainly residential although there is a small shop and a primary school. The old school building at Bonaly was demolished in 2007 to be replaced by a new school, opened in October 2008. The new school building accommodates all primary classes from P1 to P7. Previously the school was on two sites, with an infant annexe at Thorburn Road. Bonaly is part of Colinton and is in the Parish of Colinton. It is bounded on the west and North by Colinton and the east by. To the South is the Edinburgh city bypass, and the view in this direction is dominated by the Pentland Hills which house Bonaly Tower, which are now converted to residential flats. The Pentlands also house the Bonaly reservoir which is easily accessible by paths leading into the hills from Bonaly. In 2006 the streets of Bonaly controversially had traffic bollards and speed bumps installed as well as a 20mph speed limit imposed. Bonaly is served by Lothian Buses service 10.

Bonaly is also known for the Scout centre situated on Bonaly Hill. It is home to many campsites.
