Self Catering Apartments Old Town

Edinburgh’s Old Town is one of two World Heritage Sites in Scotland’s capital city (the New Town being the other). It is a place of momentous and dramatic history with vistas to match, overlooking, as it does, the New Town and Firth of Forth to the North and the ancient volcanic plug of Arthur’s Seat to the East. Medieval buildings sit adjacent to striking contemporary architecture and cobbled streets lead off from the main thoroughfares to present the curious visitor with hidden gems in the form of fantastic restaurants, cosy pubs and quirky boutiques at every turn. Renting one of our self-catering apartments here provides you with the perfect opportunity to explore the historic heart of Edinburgh whilst also providing you with easy access to the wider city beyond.

The Royal Mile, one of the world’s great avenues, is the centrepiece of the Old Town, stretching from the iconic and beautiful Edinburgh Castle, perched high on a rocky promontory, down to Holyrood House (the British monarch’s official residence in Scotland) and the spectacular Scottish Parliament building. Some of Scotland’s most important and historic buildings line the route and the street boasts a festival atmosphere all year round. An apartment on or near the Royal Mile allows you to experience the buzz of this energetic part of Edinburgh and gives the business visitor easy access to Edinburgh’s financial and business districts.
Away from the Royal Mile, there are plenty of attractions on offer in the Old Town, catering for all types of interests. The National Museum of Scotland, the historic Law Courts, the ancient and world-famous University of Edinburgh and numerous theatres and galleries are all to be found within walking-distance of your apartment in this compact part of town. The beautiful Grassmarket hosts historic pubs and independent shops whilst the Cowgate teems with life at night as Edinburgh’s hard-working inhabitants let their hair down in the bars and clubs in the area. On days off, it is very easy to amuse one’s self for days on end in the Old Town of Edinburgh, one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval districts.

The Old Town plays host to some of Edinburgh’s most high-profile commercial institutions. HBOS plc has its Group Headquarters on The Mound, just off the Royal Mile, whilst a number of law and professional services firms are based in the prestigious new Quartermile development which sits at the southern edge of the Old Town.
