Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh Old Town is the medieval half of Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage City, a dramatic mile-long spine of volcanic rock dominated by the castle at one end and the Palace of Holyroodhouse at the other, with centuries of Scottish history compressed into a labyrinth of closes, wynds, and tenements. The Royal Mile connects the two royal residences through the heart of the old city, passing the High Kirk of St Giles and Grassmarket along the way. The August Fringe Festival transforms the Old Town into the world's greatest arts festival.

Royal Mile

The Royal Mile is Edinburgh's historic spine, a series of ancient streets running exactly one Scottish mile downhill from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Lined with tenements (closes), museums, whisky shops, tartan boutiques, and street performers, it passes through the medieval Old Town that is part of Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage Site. During August the Royal Mile transforms into the world's largest arts street festival, the Edinburgh Fringe.

Edinburgh Waverley Station

Edinburgh Waverley Station is Scotland's principal railway hub and one of the most dramatically sited major stations in the world, buried in a glacial valley between the Old Town's medieval tenements and the Georgian New Town. Named after Sir Walter Scott's Waverley novels, it serves as the gateway to Scotland's capital and is the terminus for express services from London King's Cross. The station's glass roof opens to views of Edinburgh Castle dramatically looming above.
