The object was found underneath a house on Corstorphine Road, around 7:40am, a police spokeswoman said.
"Staff have been going door-to-door evacuating nearby houses as a precaution," the spokeswoman said.
The shell was likely to have been under the house for a considerable length of time.
A cordon had been put in place at the scene "while its removal is assessed".
