Streets here include Comely Bank Avenue, Comely Bank Place, Comely Bank Street, Carrington Road, Fettes Avenue, Cheyne Street and Dean Park Mews.
When is parking free in Comely Bank?
- Every weekday after 5:30pm — the bays revert to free.
- All day Saturday and all day Sunday — these zones don't operate at weekends.
Zone N3 sits just north-west of Stockbridge, near Fettes College, the Western General Hospital and Craigleith retail park. Because it's free out of hours, the popular streets fill quickly, so you may need a couple of laps. And free bays never excuse a yellow line — double yellows apply 24/7.
