Parks & Nature

The iconic Arthur's seat is just a 10 minute walk from the flat, although it will take longer than that to get to the top. Great views from the top and a lovely place to take in some fresh Scottish air.

Sightseeing

Another Edinburgh icon is the Castle which can be seen from many points of the city. You can pay to go inside and view the exhibitions, which are fascinating. But the real charm is just catching sight of it as you walk around the city.

An historical village dating back to at least the 11th century. Just a short walk from the city centre, the Dean Village is situated on the Water of Leith and contains many stunning buildings. It is a fantastic route to the Modern Art and Dean Galleries nearby. You can also follow the Water of Leith for a nice peaceful riverside walk. There is a resident Heron and Otters have also been spotted in the waters!

The most famous street in Edinburgh. It leads from the castle down to Holyrood Palace, passing many shops, cafes and restaurants on the way. There are often street performers here, especially during the Fringe Festival. If you have time, take a walk down the narrow side streets leading from the Royal Mile. There are lots of beautiful surprises hidden away.
