Set within
a complex of 42 properties in the heart of
the Georgian New Town area of Edinburgh,
these S.T.B. ‘4 Star’ apartments offer
stylish, well-equipped and ideally situated
holiday accommodation within a cosmopolitan
city. Thoughtfully designed, they each have
ample wardrobe space, electric central
heating (individually controlled for each
room), direct dial telephone with private
number and secure parking, with handy extras
such as trouser press, hairdryer and
security entryphone.
The apartments are
just a few minutes’ walk from Princes
Street, the city’s main shopping area, which
is overlooked by the fairytale Edinburgh
Castle. Princes Street Gardens, with the
200ft Scott Monument, roughly divides
Edinburgh into two parts – the medieval Old
Town, and the New Town, which was built
later during the Age of Reason. The Old Town
bears testimony to its role as a capital
city, and includes the magnificent castle,
which commands astounding views over the
city from its vantage point atop a rocky
mound of volcanic origin.
Much
history can be gleaned from a tour of the
castle, and the Honours of Scotland are to
be found in the Crown Room. On display are
the sceptre, sword and jewel-encrusted
crown, as well as the Stone of Destiny –
used as the coronation throne on which all
kings of Scotland were crowned. As the
setting for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo,
the castle Esplanade enjoys fine views over
the Pentland Hills, and leading down to the
chateau-like Palace of Holyrood House, the
Royal Mile is made up of four separate
streets – Castlehill, Lawnmarket, High
Street and Canongate.
Several
places of interest line the route, including
the Edinburgh Old Town Weaving Centre,
Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre, the Outlook
Tower (with camera obscura) and the Assembly
Hall, home of the Scottish Parliament. Other
stopping-off points along the route include
Gladstone’s Land (where it is possible to
take a glimpse back at Edinburgh in the 17th
century), and the People’s Story Museum. At
the end of the Royal Mile, lies Holyrood,
Edinburgh’s royal quarter, with the Palace
of Holyroodhouse and Holyrood Park. The five
miles or so comprising the Park contain a
variety of landscapes – mountains, glens,
lochs, moorland and marshes.
The
extinct volcano of Arthur’s Seat is also
situated here, and its ascent rewards
walkers with views of the city as well as
the Firth of Forth, and even as far as the
southernmost mountains of the Highlands on a
clear day.
Standing in contrast to the
Old Town, the New Town is laid out in
orderly fashion, with crescents, squares,
terraces and circuses. As the hub of the
city’s professional, commercial and business
life, it also boasts the National Gallery of
Scotland and the Scottish Gallery of Modern
Art.
|
|
Within the suburbs
of the city, the Royal Botanic Gardens (with its
exotic Glasshouse Experience), the Zoo and the Royal
Observatory are all major attractions, whilst within
easy reach is fashionable Leith, the city’s medieval
port, with the best selection of restaurants, wine
bars and coffee shops in Edinburgh. The Royal Yacht
Brittania is permanently docked and can be boarded
for an insight into how the Royal Family lived
aboard this beautiful ship.
There is easy access
to the A1 and city by-pass, which enables the
Borders, Fife coast and Perthshire all to be
explored, and from Waverly Station, the city of
Glasgow is just a train ride away.

In a
superb location making the most of the
magnificent golf courses and beaches of East
Lothian and only 10 miles on the A1 to

decorated and furnished, detached holiday
cottage is privately set in very extensive
gated walled garden grounds. On the edge of
Tranent, close to the Firth of Forth, there
is a good variety of activities nearby, such

at Longniddry, the seabird centre at North
Berwick, historic houses at Lenoxlove,
Dirlton and the memorable ruins of
Tantallon, Museum of Flight at East Fortune,
NT gardens in Inveresk, along with hill
walking in the Lammermuirs or The Saltire
Trail, fishing and cycling. Pub 500 yards.

This
riverside, mid-terraced holiday cottage has
both the charm and convenience of a historic
village setting and the bonus of easy access
into the city centre. With views of the
River Almond just before it reaches the
Firth of Forth, there are herons to watch
from the riverside terrace and peaceful
walks through the woods to the shore. A
short walk either up or down the river will
take you to one of the two good pubs, both
serve food. Built around 1690 this ancient
cottage is now a lovely bright, comfortable
studio with a cosy wood burning stove and a
light, easy to use wall mounted bed. Good
bus routes direct to the city centre makes
for stress free enjoyment of Edinburgh’s
very many attractions. Shop 1/3
mile, pub and restaurant 500 yards.
