Sightseeing
Edinburgh's ancient heart, the 'Auld Toun,' maintains much of its medieval street plan. A labyrinth of wynds and closes branch outward from the core of the Old Town- the Royal Mile, leading from Holyrood Palace at the bottom to the iconic Castle, perched on the crag. Immersed in history and culture, this part of town is one of the more touristic, with plenty of restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, and myriad attractions. Its location in the very centre of the city also makes it extremely convenient for those looking to get about the city.
