About Fountainbridge
Fountainbridge (Scottish Gaelic: Drochaid an Fhuarain) is an area of Edinburgh, Scotland, a short distance west of the city centre. It is adjoining Tollcross with East Fountainbridge and West Port to the east, Polwarth to the west and south, Dalry and Haymarket to the north and Gorgie and North Merchiston. The Union Canal which originally continued a short-eastwards to Port Hopetoun at Lothian Road now terminates at the Lochrin Basin.
