Towns only separated by a quarter of a mile or so. The historic Port of Leith is a bit
further afield, but still only a couple of miles, and 10-15 minutes by bus.
Day 1: The Royal Mile & Old Town
On your first day, head straight to the
Royal Mile
(p. 106) in Edinburgh's Old
Town. It stretches from
Edinburgh Castle
(p. 87) to the
Palace of Holy-
roodhouse
(p. 94). Along the way you can stop at the historic
Gladstone's
Land
(p. 91) or
St. Giles' Cathedral
(p. 91), as well as the modern
Scottish
Parliament
(p. 93) building. Be sure to wander down at least one of the nar-
row alleys and passageways that extend down the hill on either side of the Royal
Mile, like ribs from a spine. Also, if you have time left over, check out the
Grassmarket
and take a detour to the
Museum of Scotland
(p. 96).
