Royal Mile is the central avenue of Edinburgh's Old Town and is the cultural, historical and artistic centre of Edinburgh. Part of the World Heritage Site. A must-visit in Edinburgh. The street began at Edinburgh Castle and finally at Holy Lutheran Palace, about1 Scots mile (1,820 meters, always thought to be a mile). Royal Mile Avenue is divided into four sections. Each section has its own characteristics. ① Castle Hill: A small slope in front of the castle is called Castlehill, there are many shops and hotels related to the castle culture, and the Scotch Whisky Cultural Heritage Center is here. ② Lawnmarket: The next small section is called the Lawn Market, with shops on both sides mainly operating Scottish cashmere, tourist souvenirs and bars. ③ High Street: After the intersection of George IV Bridge Street (or bank street) starts to be called High Street, St Giles Church is on the High Street. High Street is the city center of Edinburgh, the most prosperous area for business, and the City Hall (or Parliament Hall) is here. ④ Canongate: The section after the intersection of St. Mary's Street is called the Monastery Gate, surrounded by various museums, the Scottish Parliament and the Queen's Gallery (The Queen''s Gallery). At the end is the Holy Lutheran Palace.

    The Royal Mile is the busiest tourist street in the Old Town as it runs between two significant locations in the royal history of Scotland: Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. The name derives from it being the traditional processional route of monarchs,with a total length of approximately one Scots mile.The streets which make up the Royal Mile are: Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street, the Canongate and Abbey Strand.Today, the Royal Mile is an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions, where you’ll often find events, stands, entertainers and buskers, especially during the Edinburgh Fringe.Try walking all of it and explore the closes as well, as most have an interesting story and/or and amazing view.A part from the castle and the royal palace, the Royal Mile is full of buildings of historical importance. Just to list a few: The Castle Esplanade (a venue for Edinburgh Military Tattoo and other events); the former Tolbooth-Highland-St John's Church; the preserved 17th century merchant's townhouse Gladstone's Land; High Court of Justiciary (Scotland's supreme criminal court); the old Parliament House which now houses the Court of Session (Scotland's supreme civil court); St Giles' Cathedral, the Heart of Midlothian (a heart-shaped pattern built into the "setted" road, marking the site of the Old Tolbooth); Edinburgh City Chambers; Mercat Cross; Tron Kirk; John Knox's House; one of Edinburgh’s all around the year Christmas shop; Scottish Storytelling Centre; World's End Pub; Moray House; the Canongate Tolbooth (now a museum of social history called The People's Story); the Kirk of the Canongate and the new Scottish Parliament Building.

    As the name implies, Royal Mile Avenue is about a mile long, the main road in Edinburgh’s Old Town, with many attractions, restaurants, bars, shops and hotels, and is the best starting point for exploring Edinburgh’s history. #10 We came out of the train station in Edinburgh and were shocked by the appearance of our eyes as soon as we walked to Royal Miles,. It happened that an artist was blowing bagpipes on the corner, and at that time, I felt like I was in the movie. # Royal Miles Both ends connect the witness of Scotland's historic drama, an Edinburgh castle and Holy Lutheran Palace, and are also must-visit attractions for tourists. The whole street does not need to be in any particular order, but it must set aside time to walk here aimlessly, stroll around the shops, see the performances of the buskers, find a favorite coffee shop to sit in for a while, and feel the charm of the medieval ancient city. Victoria Street adjacent to Royal Miles is also known for its exquisite, classical architectural style, and it is worth a walk.

    I have always heard that Scotland and England are very different, but the time is too fast to participate in the group of days (generally to see the beautiful natural scenery of Scotland, what highlands, sky islands, etc., except for self-driving is more convenient with the group) So I chose to stay in Edinburgh for two days. I must feel the style: [Landmark punch card] (Figure 1~4) I chose it. Carton Hills Carlton Mountain can be found smoothly with Google Maps. It doesn't take long to go up the mountain. It overlooks Edinburgh City and can also overlook the throne of Arthur (it is more difficult to climb the throne of Arthur). It’s quite pleasant here, I’ve been sitting on the mountain for a long time, there is a small museum that takes about 6 pounds

    Edinburgh is a city full of romance! My boyfriend likes to take pictures and back the camera. We set off. ∞ Picture one is on the small table on the right side of the Carlton Mountain. You can take a panoramic view of Prince Street here. It is also super atmospheric (you can see a small red book in the photo). All the photos left are taken on the road. There is no fixed location.
