Sights
Edinburgh's main attractions are concentrated in the city centre - on and around the Old
Town's Royal Mile between the castle and Holyrood, and in the New Town. A major ex-
ception is the Royal Yacht
Britannia,
which is in the redeveloped docklands district of
Leith, 2 miles northeast of the centre.
If you tire of sightseeing, good areas for aimless wandering include the posh suburbs of
Stockbridge and Morningside, the pretty riverside village of Cramond and the winding
footpaths of Calton Hill and Arthur's Seat.
