Ravelston Garden

Ravelston Garden is a residential complex featuring multiple apartment blocks with clean lines and industrial materials characteristic of International Style architecture. The estate comprises numbered building blocks arranged as a cohesive housing development in northwest Edinburgh.

The complex gained Category A listed building status from Historic Environment Scotland in 1991, recognizing its architectural significance. This designation reflects its importance as an example of international design principles applied to residential housing.

The architecture reflects international design principles rather than local building traditions of its era. Walking through the estate, you notice clean geometric forms and industrial materials that set it apart from surrounding neighborhoods.

The complex is situated in northwest Edinburgh with good access to the city's central areas. Visitors can walk through the residential streets freely to view the architecture and building design from multiple angles.

The complex is locally known as Jenner's Flats, a name that reflects its original identity. Despite its modern design, the buildings retain their original architectural elements while serving as contemporary living spaces for residents.
