Save Big With Edinburgh Hotel Deals from Groupon
The castle sits on volcanic rock above the city and has done so since the Iron Age. Edinburgh's Old Town tumbles down the Royal Mile from the castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, with closes and wynds branching off into a medieval urban landscape unlike anywhere else in Britain. Properties span the Old Town, the Georgian New Town, and neighborhoods like Leith, which has developed its own strong independent restaurant and accommodation scene.

Frequently Asked Questions
