Old Town
Edinburgh's Old Town is a jagged, jumbled maze of historic masonry riddled
with closes, stairs, vaults and wynds (narrow alleys) leading off the cobbled rav-
ine of the Royal Mile, which links Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyrood-
house. The restored 16th- and 17th-century Old Town tenements support a thriv-
ing city-centre community, crammed at street level with museums, restaurants,
bars and shops.
