Juniper Green is a town on the borders of Edinburgh, Scotland, located 9 kilometres south-west of the city centre. It bridges the city bypass, and also extends along the foothills of the Pentlands. It is surrounded by Colinton to the east and Currie to the south-west. It centres on Lanark Road, the highway leading out south-west of Edinburgh into the central Borders. The town depends on a raised ridge over the Water of Leith to its south. Administratively, Juniper Green drops within the jurisdiction of the City of Edinburgh Council having actually been formally taken in right into the city in 1920.
