  Old town, pedestrian walk, beautiful architecture, nice cobbled streets and stores. What's not to like? It all ends at the castle, which is a nice way to take it all in. A definite must  more »

  Looks run-dow, full of tacky stores, temporary measures - weird and ugly gates that pedestrians are funnelled through - the state of the roads!!! Nothing spectacular, in all honesty.  more »

  Such a delight walking up and down here. Some great pubs including, the Royal Mile Tavern and the pub next to it. Both do very good food. At top of the mile is a Nicholson pub, the Deacon and the Brodie where RLStevenson gained inspiration for his horror classic. Further up is the castle.

  Great walk and loads of history. Architecture is amazing. Downside is too many tourist shops selling the same thing.
