The Lothians / Midlothian region

Edinburgh's New Town is not actually old. It was built in the mid-to-late 18th Century to cope with the overcrowding in what is now known as the Old Town. Edinburgh's New Town boasts of great urban planning, combining elegant architecture with spacious and comfortable housing.

New Town buildings are typically of a neo-classical style sometimes even with grandiose, graecian pillars outside and tall ceilings and decorative friezes and trimmings inside.

The interiors of most New Town residences, have been modernized as flats and office spaces. Even the mews buildings, that once housed servants and stables, are considered to be great properties.

The original character of the Georgian era New Town, with its cobbled roads, pillars, and sandstone block facades is preserved today thanks to building codes that requires even the wrought iron railings must be painted a specific colour - black.

These New Town residences were built along an integrated and harmonious plan, with residences set near pleasant communal gardens.

The Edinburgh / New Town area

Located in the heart of Edinburgh New Town, you are surrounded by historic buildings and places of interest, all within walking distance. Most obvious is Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile.
The Castle is at the top of the Royal Mile, and Holyrood Palace, the Scottish Parliament Building and Arthurs seat are at the bottom. Its lovely to walk the length of the Mile, stopping off at the many cafes, shops, museums and ice cream parlours on the way.
Arthurs seat is an extinct volcano and a wonderful walk to the top - see if you can make it. The views are quite spectacular!
You must visit St marys Close on the Royal Mile and take a guided tour of the underground city and vaults.

Harvey Nichols Department Store and Multrees Walk for designer shopping. George Street also has many designer shops, and Princes Street has the usual high street stores.

There are many museums and art galleries close by, but if you fancy getting out of the hustle and bustle of the city, then take a stroll along the Water of Leith Walkway. You can access the walkway at Stockbrige - just round the corner from the apartment. You can walk to the Museums of Modern Art here, and lookout for the Antony Gormley sculptures dotted along the walkway. You will find statues in and beside the water, and one half buried in the concrete at the ModernArt Gallery exit.
Princes Street Gardens are a lovely picnic spot, before you try the climb to the top of the Scott monument if you are brave enough!

Take a walk round the stunning Royal Botanic Gardens to the East of the city - again just 10 minutes walk away.
Their cafe and restaurant is not to be missed and the kids and adults will love the shop.

We now have our fabulous Pandas - Sunshine and Sweetie - at the zoo. Please visit them, but make sure to book your slot early, asdemand is huge at this time.

Children will love Deep Sea World at North Queensferry, and the adults with love the view of the Forth road and rail bridges from here. Worth staying til the evening and having a meal at North or South Queensferry - little fishing villages right next to the bridges. The bridges look fantastic lit up at night!

“I would love this rental again!” it had absolutely everything we needed. condiments, tea, some coffee, etc, plastic/aluminum wrap to keep what we bought fresh. little throws to bundle up in to watch tv. broom, mop, control of the heat (which i loved) and was mostly off. perfect location to stockbridge and edinbough. a clock radio. so many amenities. and clean! i know all this now because our assurance of a so-called completely 'stocked' london flat which we are in now, has absolutely nothing. no condiments, no broom/mop, no clock anywhere. limited to two very small, cheap toilet paper rolls and charged for another. that's the strangest thing i've ever heard. a used soap from the previous renters i guess. a kingsize duvet with a queen size comforter inside so it has a foot of nothing on one side (i know, sounds so tripe but it bothers me very much for some reason). it is not all that clean either. there is old dust on the floor boards as well. i dunno, the two places simply do not compare.
