Wester Broom is a district of Edinburgh, Scotland. It borders Broomhouse/Forrester, Corstorphine and South Gyle. It is sometimes considered to be part of one of the latter two. It is mainly residential, with a few small shops and a large Tesco nearby. The Fife railway line is arguably the boundary, although some will extend it south to the Glasgow line, and to include Forresters and two schools.
History[]
The bulk of Wester Broom was constructed in the late twentieth century.
The footings of a castle/tower house were found here during the construction of the estate, but little else is known about it.[1]
