What Old Waverley has to offer

    Edinburgh Castle

    Perched on Castle Rock and overlooking the city, Edinburgh Castle is one of the capital’s most popular attractions. Dating back to the 12th Century, the castle has a fascinating (and somewhat grisly) history.

    The Royal Mile

    Located between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, the Royal Mile is a succession of inviting streets within the Old Town that features a vast range of tourist attractions.

    Scottish National Gallery

    Home to an impressive selection of fine art, the Scottish National Gallery houses masterpieces by artists such as Botticelli, Monet, Van Gogh and Rembrandt. You can walk here in under five minutes.
