English: Longstone garage is one of Lothian Buses' depot sites. It's in the Longstone area in the west of the city, situated on the southern side of the roundabout where Murrayburn Road meets Longstone Road (east). It was recently refurbished, replacing the roof of the main shed and extending it to the east. The depot was kept operational during the works, but the loss of some parking space led to the temporary storage of withdrawn buses on a site in the East Mains Industrial Estate in Broxburn.

Clock tower offices[edit]

There is an office block on the north east corner of the main shed, which features a square clock tower.

Main shed[edit]

Old east shed[edit]

An small stand-alone shed on the east side of the site was demolished to make way for the extension to the main shed. It presumably also housed a workshop.

New eastern extension[edit]

The eastern extension houses a workshop, hence the multiple entrances.
