The Royal Mile connects Edinburgh Castle with Holyrood Palace (the Queen’s official royal residence in Scotland) and is made up of four connecting streets: at the top is Castlehill (which was once a volcano), then Lawnmarket, High Street and Canongate. It is the main street of the adjoining burghs of Edinburgh and Canongate. Dozens of steep pedestrian closes lead off the street, and are worth exploring to find many of the area’s hidden gems.
The walk takes about 90 minutes although it mostly depends on your imagination. If you find something interesting to explore – go for it!
