## Visit Royal Mile

Activities

---

---

#### Explore this area in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town to find ancient buildings, historic relics, shops, museums and range of dining options.

Go for a sightseeing trip along the Royal Mile, a series of streets that forms the main artery of Edinburgh’s Old Town, the oldest part of the city. This ancient cobblestone route stretches from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. It has been used by pedestrians for hundreds of years, and houses some of the city’s most fascinating old buildings.Start your journey near the castle to the west and make your way down the hill. You’ll pass numerous pubs, restaurants and small independent stores. Visit Parliament Square on the south side to see Parliament House, which today is the home of several law courts.While you are in the square, step into St. Giles’ Cathedral, the Mother Churchof Presbyterianism. It has been a place of worship for nearly a thousand years. Before you go inside, look down at the cobbles near the cathedral’s west entrance. You should see the Heart of Midlothian, a heart-shaped mosaic that marks the spot where the Old Tolbooth, a prison built in the 1400s, once stood.Learn more about the city’s past at the People’s Story, a museum that tells the history of Edinburgh’s ordinary citizens from medieval times to the present day. Explore the interior of Gladstone's Land, a surviving 17th-century townhouse. Go to the Canongate graveyard to see the final resting place of many famous Scots, including the economist and philosopher Adam Smith. Learn about the production of the country’s national drink and sample the “water of life” at the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre.Wander off the main street to explore the narrow passages and alleys that have changed little in hundreds of years. The Royal Mile ends at the gates of the Palace of Holyroodhouse. This royal residence is open throughout the year except when members of the British royal family are there.It takes about 20 minutes to walk the Royal Mile, but you may want to give yourself at least a couple of days to explore it in full.

Great place to stay…way nicer than we expected. Host was also amazing and gave us great tips for getting around and things to do nearby. I would stay here again in a second…wouldn’t even look elsewhere.

满足了我们对英国苏格兰优雅老宅的想象，除了不能自己做饭，只有简易的微波炉，其他都很好。由于赶上电梯维修，客服帮忙上下搬运行李到4楼。周边安静，住宅应该有大约150-170年历史，维护翻修很好。

I was up on the 2nd floor so had to go up a lot of stairs with my heavy suitcase. The shower didn't function well. The water was either very hot or very cold.
