Interpreters Near You in Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, is its own council area, and the City of Edinburgh had 514,543 residents at Scotland's Census 2022. Edinburgh Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court share the Sheriff Court House at 27 Chambers Street, in the Sheriffdom of Lothian and Borders, and the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service puts the population it serves at about 450,000. Outside the city, the nearest sheriff courts are Kirkcaldy, about 11 miles north across the Forth, Dunfermline, 13 miles north-west, and Livingston, 14 miles west, which is worth knowing when a client lives in Fife or West Lothian but works in the capital.

NHS Lothian runs the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France in the south-east of the city, where it moved in 2003 from Lauriston Place, its home since 1879; the move is now more than two decades old, but an older address on a letter can still catch people out. The Western General Hospital, about 2 miles west of the centre, is another NHS Lothian hospital, and the Astley Ainslie Hospital lies about 2 miles south, so the hospital name on an appointment letter matters more than the word Edinburgh.

The city has four universities, among them the University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582, and Edinburgh Napier University, with major campuses around Merchiston and Morningside, and their students and staff turn up at the same clinics, offices and hearings as everyone else. Bookings are taken 24/7, and an interpreter working face to face, by telephone or by video can usually be arranged within seconds, whether the appointment is at the Sheriff Court, the Royal Infirmary or a council office. Musselburgh, Dalkeith and Bonnyrigg, all within about 6 miles, are covered in the same way.
