The Central/Edinburgh Region

Edinburgh's got it all! There is so much to do in Edinburgh, you simply won't have the time! Our guests are always asking for our recommendations, so here's our quick 'Tourist Information' guide to some of the Capital's highlights.
The City of Edinburgh is one of the most vibrant, cosmopolitan cities in Europe and is regularly voted as one of the most desirable places to live in the world. Edinburgh Castle dominates the urban skyline, perched atop an ancient volcano right in the city centre! With its stunning Georgian and Victorian architecture, and winding medieval streets and closes, the city is blessed with a truly captivating setting. Edinburgh is bustling with arts, culture, sports and attractions and is famous for playing host to the world’s largest arts festival, the Edinburgh International Festival

 

Edinburgh Area

Edinburgh Castle from the Ross Fountain in Princes Street Gardens - Scotland's most-visited tourist attraction, Edinburgh Castle Scotland is an ancient fortress rising high above Edinburgh City on the sheer cliffs of Castle Rock. Its lofty position dominates views of the city of Edinburgh. The esplanade of Edinburgh Castle is the site of the world-famous 'Edinburgh Castle Tattoo' (Edinburgh Castle Military Tattoo). Guided tours of Edinburgh Castle are available. The castle is managed by Historic Scotland.

Edinburgh's Hogmanay Street Party - One of the world's most spectacular New Year celebrations! The evening features performers from all over the world, and the Concert in the Gardens with a world-class fireworks display at midnight. Street party tickets are released at the beginning of October each year. New Year's Eve is preceded by the Torchlight procession from the Royal Mile and Night Afore International, a street arts carnival on George Street. Visit Edinburgh's Hogmanay website for details. Our apartments offer ideal Edinburgh Hogmanay accommodation, in the city centre.

The Royal Mile - Our self-catering apartments are near to Edinburgh's Royal Mile in the Old Town - the city's most popular tourist street. The Mile runs from the Castle Esplanade to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, encompassing the Lawnmarket, the High Street, and Canongate. Don't forget the side streets of Victoria Street, the West Bow, Candlemaker Row, Grassmarket and the West Port. These delightful areas are rich in unusual shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. During the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the High Street becomes crowded with tourists, entertainers and buskers.

Palace of Holyroodhouse (Holyrood Palace) - At the foot of the Royal Mile, Holyrood Palace, dating from the 15th century, is the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II when she visits Scotland. She is usually in residence for a few weeks in May and July each year. When the Queen is not present, areas of the palace are sometimes open to visitors with guided tours of several rooms in the State Apartments available. The palace is directly opposite the Scottish Parliament and Arthur's Seat. With our self-catering accommodation in Edinburgh's Regent Terrace you can stay only a short walk from Holyrood Palace and the Royal Mile!

Rosslyn Chapel - Rosslyn Chapel is a 15th century church in the village of Roslin, on the outskirts of Edinburgh. As of 2006, the chapel attracts over 100,000 visitors per year, many of whom are intrigued by the building's connection with the 2003 bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Trained staff are on hand to guide you round the chapel on your visit. You can reach the chapel by the hourly 15A bus which can be boarded at St. Andrew's Square or Princes Street (between 3 and 8 minutes walk from our self-catering apartments). The Rosslyn Chapel image above shows a roof erected over the chapel as part of the ongoing conservations project

Scott Monument - Rising 200.5 feet into the sky in the East end of Princes Street Gardens, only a few minutes walk from our Calton Hill self-catering apartment, the Scott Monument is a Victorian era monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. For a small fee, you can climb 287 narrow spiralling steps to the viewing deck near the top for a panoramic view of central Edinburgh. The monument lies opposite the Jenners department store on Princes Street and near to Waverley Station.

Princes Street Gardens - Take a stroll in this dramatically situated public park beneath the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle. The Gardens are a popular meeting place in Edinburgh, and play host to regular concerts at the Ross Bandstand, particularly at the city's Hogmanay celebrations. Pop over to take in the oldest floral clock in the world, which is seasonally replanted with around 35,000 colourful plants. Come Christmas time, Princes Street Gardens is also the site of one of Britain's largest outdoor ice rinks, Winter Wonderland. and many more.......... contact us for details and more information.
