Built over centuries – always interesting and often intriguing. Links the Castle to Holyrood Palace. Full of historic buildings, churches, food and drink, statues, street performers, shops, food and drink, tourists, photographers and the narrow alleyways called ‘closes’ that run off the Royal Mile. The Old Town extends from Princes Street Gardens in the North to the University area in the South – and from the Castle in the West to the Palace in the East.
