Overlooking the historic Makars’ Court, a literary courtyard celebrating Scotland’s writers, the apartment offers a unique combination of central convenience and a surprisingly peaceful setting.

    Step outside and you are moments from Edinburgh Castle, St Giles’ Cathedral, Princes Street Gardens, the National Museum of Scotland, and some of the city’s best restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions.
