While on The Royal Mile, drop in here for a Scotch Whisky from it's HUGE menu. They also have a good choice of beer and food available. TOP TIP: If you're new to whisky I suggest trying a nice speyside whisky (such as Glenfiddich, Glenlivet or Macallan) for a gentle introduction or if you're brave go for a more complex (and my favorites) Islay such as Laphroig or Lagavulin.

Named because of the distance of the route between the Castle and the Palace of Holyrood House. It's well worth a meander along to browse the shops and pubs. TOP TIP: The Royal Mile is actual made of of lots of different street names from the Castle down: Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street, the Canongate and Abbey Strand.

Nestled in the city centre Holyrood Park is a place to get away from (most) of the crowds. Climb Arthurs Seat (251m) for a panoramic view of Edinburgh, walk the Crags and visit St Anthony's Chapel.
