This area has been the seat of power since the very earliest days. From the ancient

to the Castle Rock and in time led to the establishment of Edinburgh Castle.

its narrow streets and winds home to a myriad of strange stories and tales.
The new town built in the Age of Enlightenment, is a splendid example of the
architectural magnificence of that period.
