The Central Scotland/Edinburgh region
Scotland's capital city of Edinburgh is an attractive destination at any time of year. The history, the art, the architecture, the festivals and the scenery - all add up to an amazing experience. Festivals abound - from Christmas and Hogmanay celebrations to festivals of science, jazz, books, films as well as the world-famous Edinburgh International Festival and its even-bigger offshoot the Festival Fringe.
In the city centre the Castle stands high above Princes Street Gardens providing an unforgettable view from the main shopping area around Princes Street and George Street.
Our GRASSMARKET STUDIO is located in West Port, the road leading west off the Grassmarket, just south of Edinburgh Castle. The Grassmarket and neighbouring Victoria Street have a great selection of independent shops, specialising in quality, individual clothing and accessories, antiques, tea, cheese and quirky knick-knacks!

"This must be the PERFECT place to stay in Edinburgh!" (TH, Sweden, July 2009)
"It looked great on the internet and did not disappoint one iota - especially the view of the castle (got many chances to enjoy the view as I smoked my endless fags outside!)
