Lothian 398 outward bound from the city at Craiglockhart, Edinburgh.
The bus has stopped in Colinton Road in front of the Craiglockhart Campus of Edinburgh Napier University. The former Craiglockhart College of Education was bought by the then Napier Polytechnic in 1986 but the Italianate building started life as Edinburgh Hydropathic in 1880. During World War 1 it was requisitioned by the military as a hospital for shell shocked officers and it was here that the poets Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon met. Later the building was used as a convent before being used for teacher training. Service 4 is one of a number of bus routes which serve the campus - it links The Jewel in the east of the city with Hillend in the south. Hillend at the foot of the Pentland Hills is the location of the Midlothian Snowsports Centre and a good jumping off point for hill walkers. This bus service 4 originated in May 1953.
