At the eastern end of the Royal Mile stands the official Scottish residence of the monarchy. Visitors can tour Mary Queen of Scots’ chambers, the elegant State Apartments, and the ruins of the 12th‑century abbey.

🌋 Arthur’s Seat & Salisbury Crags
This extinct volcano in Holyrood Park offers an accessible hike with stunning panoramic vistas of the city and Firth of Forth. The neighbouring Salisbury Crags add dramatic cliffside appeal.

Property does not create a great first impression as the building itself is run down and dirty from the outside.Once in the flat itself, every effort has been made to make it a very comfortable living space with every modern convenience.It's also in my favourite part of Edinburgh.Will look to rent again when next in town.
