About the location (Old Town, Edinburgh)
The Royal Mile is the perfect base for exploring the city of Edinburgh and experiencing its rich history. Edinburgh Castle is less than ten minutes by foot, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament are less than a five-minute walk away. The Royal Mile's oldest building, John Knox House, is a stone's throw away from the property; local museums and galleries include the Museum of Edinburgh, the Museum of Childhood, the Writers' Museum and the Queen's Gallery. Other nearby attractions include the Edinburgh Dungeon and Mary King's Close. There are shopping and dining facilities on the doorstep and Waverley Railway Station and Princes Street, the city's principal shopping district, are within easy walking distance.
The Royal Mile, also known as the High Street, was the royal thoroughfare between the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Edinburgh Castle. The property occupies a building which was erected in 1873 and stands opposite the site of the Nether Bow Port, a large gatehouse between the High Street and the Canongate, which was demolished in 1764.
The High Street and the Canongate follow a natural geographical route running downhill from Castle Rock towards the Abbey and Palace of Holyroodhouse. 'Canon's Gait' or Canongate is so called due to the Augustinian canons who were the main passengers along the route. The Burgh of Canongate remained a separate entity until 1856 when its status as a burgh was relinquished and the area was absorbed into the city of Edinburgh.
