Haymarket (,〔(List of railway station names in English, Scots and Gaelic – NewsNetScotland )〕 (スコットランド・ゲール語:Margadh an Fheòir))〔(Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba ~ Gaelic Place-Names of Scotland )〕 is an area of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is in the west of the city and is a focal point for several main roads, notably Dalry Road (which leads south-west to Gorgie Road and the M8 motorway to Glasgow), Corstorphine Road (leading west to the M9 for Stirling and the north), and Shandwick Place (leading east to Princes Street and the city centre). Haymarket contains a number of popular pubs, cafés and restaurants. In the centre of the crossroads at the heart of Haymarket was a war memorial for former players of Heart of Midlothian F.C. who died in World Wars I and II; the memorial was in the form of a clock (The memorial was meant to commemorate ALL the sportsmen from Edinburgh who lost their lives. However for unknown reasons it only commemorates those Hearts players who died). At one time, clocks were a feature in the centre of a number of Edinburgh crossroads. The memorial was temporarily removed about 2010 to allow construction of the tramway across the road junction. ==Transport interchange== The newly redeveloped Haymarket railway station〔(Haymarket Station officially opened - 19 December 2013 )〕 is located here and is called at by the busy commuter services to Glasgow and Fife, as well as long-distance services to Carlisle, Inverness and Aberdeen. Edinburgh Trams' Haymarket stop is located adjacently North of the station for connections to the West of the city as far as Edinburgh Airport and the city centre to the East. The westbound tramway continues off-street at this point via Haymarket Yards. Lothian Buses are the main operator for local bus connections to and from the interchange stop on Haymarket Terrace, and nearby Dalry Road. Services from West Lothian are operated by First Scotland East who also run an express from Falkirk. Express coach connections from Strathclyde are operated by Scottish Citylink. The taxi rank is situated in Rosebery Crescent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haymarket, Edinburgh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
