The site extends to approx. 4.2 Ha (10.3 acres) and occupies a prominent position overlooking the Firth of Forth with excellent access links to Edinburgh and beyond.

Approximately half the site, located to the south, was previously occupied by the Forth Bridges Hotel - now demolished. The northern portion slopes down towards housing at Stewart Terrace. The site is bounded to the east by modern housing at Viewforth Road and to the west by the A90, the Bridge Authority HQ and recently upgraded car park.
