Attractions

Holyrood Palace Open to the public most of the year, the Palace of Holyroodhouse is a popular spot for visitors. Dating from 1498 when it was built by King James IV, it has been closely associated with royalty ever since and is still the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II when she is staying in Scotland. Be sure not to miss the 12th century Abbey. The Palace is set in the vast splendour of Holyrood Park.
Holyrood Park It really resembles a "mini Highlands". people run in Holyrood Park up Arthur's Seat and along the Crags, around Duddingston Loch and St Mary's Loch. Arthur's Seat is an 825 foot high extinct volcano is one of Edinburgh's most distinctive landmarks. There are several paths to the top of the volcano which, although fairly arduous are well worth it for the magnificent views.
Edinburgh Castle The castle is the most popular tourist attraction in Edinburgh. And its only 100m from our Guest House. Dominating the skyline with majestic views over Princes Street and the impressive gardens below, this former Royal residence is steeped in history. The spectacular fireworks display against the backdrop of the castle at the end of the Edinburgh Festival and on Hogmanay are the most eagerly awaited events of the year.
