Edinburgh's oldest neighborhood, dating back to medieval times: these small streets are lined with wool shops, pubs and historical monuments.
When in Edinburgh you must visit The Old Town, .. See the Old Tenement Buildings.. Feel the History of this old Historical Town, with its cobbled streets....Take a walk along the Royal Mile, from the Castle to Holyrood Palace.. You can easily feel what it must've been like living in "Auld Reekie" centuries ago.. and hearing the words being shouted from the tenement windows "Gardy Loo" ..the warning that Waste was going to be thrown out the window...Visit Grassmarket.. and the weekend Farmers Markets... If you looking for souvenirs to take home you will definitely find them here, from the array of shops to choose from,.. if your looking for Cashmere, Whisky., Tablet or some nice Edinburgh Rock..You will find it all in the Old Town and much more.

The modern face of Edinburgh, with lots of restaurants, pubs, museums and galleries.
The first thoughts of some people might be that a “new town” is not the sort of place to visit during a touring holiday, but it should be noted here that the term is only used here to differentiate this part of the city centre from the decidedly ancient bit across the road! Edinburgh’s New Town is most definitely worth a long, slow visit. The architecture is mainly Georgian and is a delight of grand buildings and beautiful squares, all set out within a convenient grid pattern. It’s a place where you can visit some nice historic houses and museums as well as very good independent shops, cafes, restaurants and the occasional pub. In other words - there is plenty to do and admire; or even just a place to relax.

Somehow, in spite of numerous trips to Edinburgh, this was the first time we have visited Stockbridge and it really is rather lovely. Although it isn’t far from the city centre (an easy stroll) Stockbridge has a distinct community feeling all of its own, and one can imagine it being a lovely place to live. The architecture, a mix of fine Georgian and Victorian, is both attractive and interesting and there is a splendid collection of independent shops, cafes, pubs etc. It is certainly worth a visit.

If in edinburgh take a trip out to this wee village. Fabulous view of the bridges across the Firth and a stroll down the mainstreet is like stepping back in time..... Beautifully maintained old buildings and cobbled streets lend it an air of bygone times and there are plenty of spots to have a coffee or a bite to eat.

This is one of the many historic streets in Edinburgh but it is part of the Royal Mile. Although It is quite short it leads to Edinburgh Castle and has many shops and attractions.

It's a must place if you come to Edinburgh. Easy to reach by public transports or walking from the city centre along the Leith walk or through the wonderful green Water of Leith walkway. We walked to Leith along the Water of Leith and it was amazing. We stopped in one of the many cafe and then we continued to go all around. The place is beautiful and full of restaurants, cafes, shops. Ideal place for the first time in Edinburgh, nice and relaxing. Recommended!!!

This review is about the Royal Bank of Scotland Head Office, on the East side of the square. It is a lovely place to visit, with a beautiful dome ceiling and it has the story of the bank. Very much a museum piece in its own right. Don’t be put off, they are very welcoming and it’s an out of the way gem. Definitely recommend
