Let The Bagpipes Play

Situated a minute’s walk from the frenetic Royal Mile, this cosy apartment with neutral colour scheme and homespun furnishings is a welcome respite set back from the hubbub. Relax in the living space with a good book and glass of scotch or try your hand at cooking up Scottish culinary classics in the fully-equipped kitchens. On warm summer days, open the windows wide for a gentle breeze and the sound of bagpipes to drift through your abode. When you’re ready to take the city by storm, we recommend beginning with a history lesson at the iconic Edinburgh Castle, atop an extinct volcano, just a ten-minute walk away. Should you start to feel peckish, the countless indie cafes, restaurants and bars in the Old Town will see you right. And if you’re in the mood for a spot of shopping, Princes Street is chockfull of big-name stores.
