The Royal Mile
The Royal Mile runs through the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, connecting the Edinburgh Castle, perched high on a base of volcanic rock, with the Palace of Holyroodhouse, resting in the shadow of Arthur's Seat. Another tourist attraction on this road would be the Camera Obscura an illusion museum full of crazy illusions for you to discover!
Peppered with superb attractions such as The Real Mary King’s Close or the Scottish Storytelling Centre, historical sites including St Giles' Cathedral and some of the best eating and drinking spots in the city, the Royal Mile offers much to see and do. For a glimpse of recent history, be sure to visit the ultra-modern Scottish Parliament, a striking building boasting a cutting-edge design.
