Inside the apartment with jaw-dropping views of Edinburgh - yours for £1,300,000

Scotsman17-06-2025
New Eidyn is probably Edinburgh's new build answer to New York condominium block, The Ansonia.
After all, in the Scottish capital, there aren't a lot of other buildings like this, with a concierge, 24-hour security and communal living spaces.
The complex, which has been created by developers Native Land, also benefits from immediate access to St James Quarter, since it's part of the same building.
Currently, it comprises of 152 apartments that range in size from a one-bedroom for £360,000, up to the newest addition - a three-bedroom and three-bathroom apartment that's on the market at a fixed price of £1,300,000.
It's been decorated in a sleek style to attract a broad range of buyers.
We asked Barny Barnard from luxury interior design agency The Folio Group to tell us more about the look.
Tell us about the new show apartment
Spanning 1,605 sqft, this latest residence at Native Land's New Eidyn development allowed us to craft an interior that complements the generous proportions and natural light of the space. Spearheaded by our Senior Designer Lucinda Palengat, the open-plan reception, dining and kitchen area was designed to maximise the incredible flow of light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a calm, welcoming heart to the home. The lateral layout also includes three spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, and a luxurious walk-in wardrobe in the principal suite. One of the apartment's most compelling features is its 1,024 sqft private terrace; one of the largest of its kind in the city, perfect for both entertaining or simply soaking up the breathtaking views.
What's the view like?
Quite simply, the views are unparalleled for Edinburgh, capturing the city's historic skyline alongside rugged natural beauty. From its elevated eighth-floor position, residents will enjoy uninterrupted panoramas of Calton Hill, its Observatory, and the dramatic contours of Arthur's Seat. These panoramas informed our use of light, texture and tone, and our goal was to ensure that every room framed and celebrated the outlook.
How do you design a space to appeal to a broad demographic?
We approached this interior with a design language that is sophisticated yet approachable. A neutral base allows the architectural features and the views to take centre stage, while rich textures: velvet, bouclé, marble and wood, add depth and tactility. We layered accents of burnt orange and deep blue to introduce warmth and energy. The furnishings, sourced from leading names such as Soho Home, create a sense of relaxed luxury that invites people to imagine their own lifestyle within the space.
What was the brief?
The brief from Native Land was to create a show apartment that truly reflects the quality and design ethos of the New Eidyn development. It needed to feel aspirational yet liveable, somewhere that captures the character of Edinburgh but with a distinctly contemporary spirit. We focused on light, flow and a seamless relationship between inside and outside. It was important that the interiors felt as thoughtfully crafted as the architecture of the building.
What palette did you use?
We started with a base of earthy neutrals to ground the space and let the light and views speak. From there, we layered in accents such as burnt orange, deep navy, olive green, through upholstery, cushions and accessories. It was about creating richness without overwhelming the senses. Materials like bouclé, velvet and lightly grained wood add depth and tactility, helping the space feel warm and lived-in.
Any interesting pieces in this apartment?
The apartment features a curated collection of furnishings and artwork, including pieces by Julian Chichester, Jonathan Adler and Soho Home. The juxtaposition of rich fabrics with sleek materials and tactile accessories brings a sense of 'quiet' luxury.
Will it come fully furnished?
The apartment can be purchased fully furnished exactly as styled, or buyers have the flexibility to purchase without, should they prefer to personalise the space themselves. We've taken care to create a space that feels turnkey but never generic.
Does the look tie in with the communal spaces at New Eidyn?
We worked closely with the Native Land team to ensure that the interiors of the show apartment align with the overarching ethos of the development. The sense of understated elegance and refined materiality runs throughout, from the concierge area to the private Garden Room, so that residents experience a harmonious visual journey from the moment they arrive.
How does it compare style-wise to the other apartments?
While maintaining the signature quality and design of New Eidyn, this particular apartment distinguishes itself through its expansive layout, one-of-a-kind terrace, and a bold yet elegant interior palette. We embraced a more eclectic and curated approach to the styling, playing with contrast, colour, and tactile finishes, to create a slightly more expressive and characterful interpretation of the New Eidyn aesthetic.
Which space in the show apartment are you most happy with?
The standout space has to be the expansive open-plan reception, dining, and kitchen area. Its floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and connect with the private terrace. This combination of indoor and outdoor living, paired with stunning views, creates a truly unique city living environment.
What has the feedback from viewers been like so far?
Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Potential purchasers have been particularly impressed by the apartment's generous proportions, overall quality of the finishes and showstopping dual-aspect views of Edinburgh's iconic landmarks. Many have also commented on the level of service offered by the concierge and security – a first for the Edinburgh market.

Tony Bloom explains who makes Hearts calls on managers and transfers as he endorses Derek McInnes

EPL chairman impressed with the start from his Scottish Premiership club Sign up to our Hearts newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Tony Bloom watched from the directors' box as Hearts beat both Aberdeen and Dundee United to start the William Hill Premiership with a 100 per cent record. The Brighton and Hove Albion chairman analysed his Scottish club at close quarters for the first time and is impressed with the work of head coach Derek McInnes so far. Hearts lured McInnes from Kilmarnock in May after he scored highly on Jamestown Analytics' data. He was also highlighted as a good option for the Edinburgh club last year before they hired Neil Critchley. McInnes is now building momentum at Tynecastle Park having won all of his six competitive games in charge, including Premier Sports Cup ties. That competition returns to the agenda again this weekend when Hearts travel to St Mirren for a tricky last-16 tie. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Bloom, the Brighton and Hove Albion chairman who also own minority shares in Hearts, Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise and Australian club Melbourne Victory, has no issue endorsing McInnes. He explained the importance of a head coach and how the appointment works. The final decision rests with the Tynecastle board. 'There's no doubt that a football club head coach is critical,' said Bloom. 'Talking about how important the players are, obviously the head coach knits it all together in so many different ways. The idea is you've got a really good head coach who understands the club and will improve the players. In any recruitment of a head coach, it's just one position. If that, for whatever reason, doesn't quite go right, the club in that particular season may not do so well. So I think with Derek McInnes as Hearts head coach I think it's a really good appointment. From what I've seen from the outside, the start is going really well. 'I wasn't personally involved [in hiring McInnes]. Jamestown Analytics, when it comes to the head coach, will have in-depth discussions and it will give some names to Graeme [Jones, sporting director] and the board. It's up to Graeme and the board to make the decision. It's not just about the data with the head coach, there's so many things which go into it. Again, Jamestown Analytics is an advisory service. The Hearts board will make every decision.' Hearts transfer business - and Jamestown's role The process is no different when signing players. So far this summer, Hearts have nine new recruits in place: Norwegian right-back Christian Borchgrevink, Greek winger Alexandros Kyziridis, Portuguese forward Claudio Braga, Irish midfielder Oisin McEntee, Belgian striker Elton Kabangu, Scottish centre-back Stuart Findlay, Albanian winger Sabah Kerjota, Icelandic midfielder Tomas Magnusson and Burkinabe forward Pierre Landry Kabore. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Jamestown has been heavily involved in them all. 'It's just advisory service, that's all it does,' added Bloom. 'Jamestown Analytics would not want to have an agreement with the club if they weren't using it in the right way. But that doesn't mean: 'Here are the players, go and get them.' It's not nearly as simple. There's a lot more to signing of players than just the data. That is a really significant part but, as we all know, you can have a brilliant player and it just doesn't work out. 'For a club like Hearts, they've got to understand or learn the values of the club. They've got to be the right person in the dressing room. They've got to have the right personality. I'm not saying every player that comes in is going to tick every box, that's unrealistic. But what you don't want is somebody coming in who is an excellent player and is a disruptor because that can really hurt you as a football club. 'We certainly want to speak to the player. The manager will typically speak to the player, the head of recruitment or the sporting director will speak to the player. So I'd imagine there's a lot going on there. I don't know exactly how it works with Hearts, but I've got every confidence that they do a lot of due diligence on the player on top of all the analytics that they get from Jamestown.'

Tony Bloom makes Derek McInnes Hearts hiring admission as he reveals there's more to transfer strategy than data

McInnes has the jambos top of the table after Bloom insisted that they can spit Celtic and Rangers this season Tony Bloom admits he wasn't involved in the hiring of Derek McInnes at Hearts - but says the Jambos gaffer is vital to what he wants to achieve at Tynecastle. ‌ The billionaire Brighton owner, who has invested £10 million into the Gorgie club, has been impressed by the impact McInnes has made since taking over. ‌ Bloom has revealed he wasn't part of the recruitment process after Neil Critchley's departure, with Jamestown Analytics and Hearts sporting director Graeme Jones having key roles in McInnes' appointment. ‌ But Bloom, who has a 29 percent share at Tynecastle, is a big fan of the manager already and believes he'll be pivotal in any success they have this season. The Englishman has boldly claimed Hearts can split the Old Firm in the Scottish Premiership this term - and is adamant they can win a title in the next 10 years. McInnes has got them off to a flying start with league victories over Aberdeen and Dundee United. And Bloom said: 'There's no doubt that at any football club, the head coach is critical. 'People talk about how important players are but the coach knits it all together in so many different ways. 'The idea is to have a really good manager who understands the club and will improve the players. ‌ 'Recruitment of a head coach is just one position. But if for whatever reason, that doesn't go right - the club in that particular season might not do well. 'But I think Derek as Hearts' head coach is a really good appointment. 'From what I've seen from the outside, he's started really well. ‌ 'So far, the team has had some superb results and performances. 'I wasn't personally involved in hiring Derek. 'When it comes to the head coach role, Jamestown will have in-depth discussions and give names to Graeme and the board. ‌ 'It's then up to Graeme and the board to make the decision. 'With the head coach, there's so many things that go into it and Jamestown Analytics is an advisory service. 'But the Hearts board will ultimately make every decision.' ‌ Part of the attraction for Hearts in getting Bloom on board was the access they'd get to Jamestown's renowned data. The Brighton boss believes what that can add to the club's recruitment will help them bridge the financial gap to the Old Firm in Scotland. ‌ But Bloom is quick to point out that players won't be signed at Tynecastle based purely on numbers and stats. He's adamant that McInnes will still have a major, hands-on role when it comes to strengthening his squad. And Bloom says only players who understand Hearts and the demands of Scottish football will arrive at the club. ‌ He said: 'Jamestown is an advisory service. They wouldn't have an agreement with the club if Hearts weren't using it the right way. 'That doesn't mean it's a case of, here are the players, go and get them. It's not nearly as simple as that. 'There is a lot more that goes into signing players than just the data. It's a really significant part. ‌ 'But we all know, you can have a brilliant player and it just doesn't work out. 'For a club like Hearts, they've got to understand and learn the values of the club. 'They've got to be the right person in the dressing room and have the right personality. ‌ 'Not every player that comes in is going to tick every box, that's unrealistic. 'What you don't want is somebody coming in who is an excellent player but is a disruptor. Because that can really hurt you as a football club. 'We would certainly always want to speak to the player. And the manager will typically speak to the player, along with the head of recruitment or the sporting director. 'So there's a lot going on. 'I don't know exactly how it will work with Hearts but I've got every confidence that they do a lot of due diligence on players, on top of all the analytics that they get from Jamestown.'
