Very close to train station. We walked everywhere to Castle and Royal Mile. Close to stores and restaurants. Wonderful historic landmark…thank you for sharing
This is a great home for travelers wanting a true Scottish feel for their stay.
This house is such a gem…I hate to tell anyone about it!!;)
Amazing beautiful place. Like stepping into a more elegant past.
