Welcome to Edinburgh, the Capital of Scotland, and to the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town - one of the premier tourist images in the world, an unforgetable skyline running from the Castle to the Palace of Holyrood House. Surrounded by steeply sloping streets and closes evocative of the days when the teeming tenements housed ordinary people and the highest in the land lived cheek by jowl with each other and their domestic animals.

The Old Town provides a huge variety of shops catering for every taste. from whisky to the occult and from Highland Dress to Playing Cards. There are Galleries, Antique Shops, Crafts, Jewelry, Textiles, Cameras and Electrical Goods, Camping Equipment and Brushes. You will find hostelries whose history goes back for centuries next door to the most cosmopolitan of restaurants. Whatever your taste, you will find somewhere to enjoy eating and drinking in the Old Town. And it isn't all in the Royal Mile! For some of the most intriguing shops, the most enjoyable food and drink, you must explore the Grassmarket and the Bridges and look down the interesting side streets and closes.

Unlike most city High Streets where the same national chains of shops, bars and restaurants can be seen whichever town you are in, Edinburgh's Old Town is rich in specialist shops, small restaurants and intimate little bars. Whether it is shopping, hotels, bars, cafes, restaurants or just memorable sights, there is a feast of attractions for the visitor to Edinburgh and to Scotland.
