Palace of Holyrood House, Edinburgh at dusk.[The Palace of Holyroodhouse sits at the foot of the Royal Mile. This is a fantastic location to explore Edinburgh’s Old Town and very much worth a wander up The Royal Mile to reach the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle with its stunning views of Princes Street Gardens and beyond to Edinburgh’s New Town and Firth of Forth in the distance. Take time to explore the narrow closes, wynds and cobbled courtyards.

The historic architecture of The Palace of Holyroodhouse contrasts with the modern architecture of the Scottish Parliament which sits on its doorstep. Both, however, are overshadowed by the natural beauty and stunning vista of Holyrood Park.

A short stroll from both, this is well worth a visit and those who are feeling energetic may follow its winding path to the peak to be rewarded by breathtaking views across Edinburgh’s stunning cityscape.
