About Old Town, Edinburgh

Old Town Edinburgh occupies the historic heart of Scotland's capital, stretching along the famous Royal Mile from Edinburgh Castle to Holyroodhouse. The medieval quarter sits on a volcanic ridge, with narrow closes and wynds branching off the main street. Most of the area is pedestrianised, so drivers should use peripheral car parks near Waverley Station or St James Quarter. The A1 from the south and M8 from Glasgow provide the main approaches, whilst local routes include the A7 and A90. The Royal Mile's original cobblestones are still visible beneath your feet on Lawnmarket.
