The Grassmarket is one of Edinburgh's liveliest areas, with many restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops a few steps away.
A great base from which to explore one of Europe's most beautiful cities!

The Central Scotland/Edinburgh region
Edinburgh is one of Europe's most beautiful cities, and a wonderful place for a city holiday. Nearly everything is within an easy walk of the apartment.
History is everywhere in Edinburgh and the surrounding area. The oldest part of the Castle dates from the 12th century, and much of the Old Town was built 500 years ago.
There are dozens of golf courses in and around the city and St Andrews is a short drive away.
It is an easy day trip by car or bus to the mountains and lochs of the Highlands. For movie fans, the William Wallace (Braveheart) memorial is in nearby Stirling, and Roslyn Chapel (Da Vinci code) is just outside Edinburgh.
