The Walk
Edinburgh's New Town is one of the world's finest Georgian cityscapes, worthy of Unesco
World Heritage status. This walk captures the essence of the New Town's Georgian eleg-
ance, taking in its two architecturally pivotal squares, the grand town houses of Heriot Row
(complete with private gardens), and two of the city's best viewpoints, the Scott Monument
and Calton Hill.
