Crewe Toll is an area in Edinburgh, the Scottish capital.
The Western General Hospital is in the vicinity. Another hospital, the Northern General, was also in the area but this is now the site of a Morrisons supermarket. Edinburgh's Telford College (tertiary) was at Crewe Toll, but has moved to a site at Granton. Fettes College (private, secondary) is close by. A major aerospace facility is situated in the area, the SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems facility (formerly the avionics division of Ferranti, then GEC-Marconi, then until 2005 BAE Systems).
Ferry Road passes through the area, indeed the original Crewe Toll tolbooth where a roundabout now stands is on Ferry Road.
Some nearby Edinburgh districts include Craigleith, Pilton, Inverleith, and Silverknowes

Famous quotes containing the word toll:
“The fact that the mental health establishment has equated separation with health, equated womens morality with soft-heartedness, and placed mothers on the psychological hot seat has taken a toll on modern mothers.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
