Juniper Green Hookups: Juniper Green Women Want to Meet

A village at your door, the capital down the road

Edinburgh absorbed Juniper Green in 1920, and it is still a village with a name of its own. It sits on an elevated ridge above the Water of Leith, about five and a half miles south-west of the city centre, strung out along the foothills of the Pentlands. The village straddles the city bypass, and Lanark Road, the main way out of Edinburgh into the Central Borders, runs through its middle.

For a hookup, that position is the appeal. Stay local when you want things close to home, or head into town when you would rather not bump into the neighbours; either way, the capital's choice of people is only a few miles away.

Edinburgh one way, the Pentland foothills the other

Edinburgh, about five miles

Lanark Road is the main way out of the capital to the south-west and runs through the middle of the village, so a match coming from the city can simply follow it.

Next door: Colinton, Baberton and Currie

Colinton lies to the east, Baberton just to the north and Currie to the south-west, so a match from any of them is practically a neighbour.

The Pentland foothills, on your doorstep

The village stretches along them, which makes a daytime walk an easy first suggestion if a crowded bar is not your idea of meeting someone, and an easy exit if the chemistry is missing.

Dalkeith and Livingston

Dalkeith is about eight miles off and Livingston just over nine, for matches from further out.

Before a first meeting, send a friend the plan. The hookups near me page explains how nearest towns work.
