spreads across a vast area and the highest point of the park is Arthur seat at 251 M so there are plenty of walking trails all around the park the hike is fairly easy and well worth the effort just to see the breathtaking view over the cityscapes of Edinburgh and Beyond number two hly Roode Palace the official residence of the British monarch in Edinburgh and one of the top attractions in the city so this Grand Palace stands at the East End of the royal Mile with Offa seat in the background now this 16th century Palace was closely associated with Mary Queen of Scots so you can explore the grand interiors and the collections of different Flemish and French tapestries in the state Apartments but you can also see the Two Thrones commissioned by King George in 1911 but outside the palace you will find the ruins of the historic holwood Abbey which actually played an important role in edinburgh’s history [Music] number three Edinburgh Castle sitting right at the top of the historic Royal mile stands a magnificent Fortress and a prominent part of the City’s iconic Skyline steeped in over 900 years of History its dramatic setting on an extinct volcanic plug provides a stunning view over Edinburgh now the oldest surviving structure of the castle is the S Margaret’s Chapel built in the early 12th century by King David the he named the small chapel after his beloved mother Queen however some historians believe that the origins of the Fortress and the features of this area are actually much older it costs roughly around £18 online or 21 if you walk up and purchase on the day [Music] a [Music] and now we come to the Royal [Music] mile now this is an unmissable part of sightseeing in Edinburgh the street is actually longer than a mile and the term Royal mile refers to Scots mile an old Scottish measuring unit which became kind of obsolete in the 18th century now the Royal mile is one of the thoroughfares in the city it runs from the historic Castle to the Hollywood Palace an iconic Street that’s lined with famous city landmarks souvenir shops museums you know the traditional pubs restaurants Etc now if you visit in August the area comes alive with plenty of things to do street performers and things like that also watch out for the narrow Alleyways known as as closes Advocates clothes anchor clothes and white horse clothes which are actually quite photogenic or your Instagram [Music] St and you probably think we’re here to talk about that edinburgh’s toll bir prison and as the name kind of gives it away it was a prison and everyone hated it slap bang in the middle of your city center right on your High Street but it wasn’t just criminals get thrown in but also innocent people thrown in quite brutally tortured at times this is a very common site up and down the Royal Mile in all the side streets you’ll see hundreds of them it’s a close there’s so many of these because those used to be the streets of Edinburgh that’s all they had between the buildings this was the exception it was for royalty connects the castle in the palace it was always pretty big the rest were like that the reason that’s the case Edinburgh used to be very small and it used to have big number five the real Mary King’s close so when you are in Edinburgh one of the best places to visit is the real Mary King’s clo and it’s hidden right beneath the Royal mile it’s a maze of narrow streets and alleys that have been almost perfectly preserved from the 17 Century now back in the day this place was full of life with merchants and families living and working there but over time it was sealed off and buried under the city’s expansion turning it into an underground world of mystery but today the good thing is you can take a tour through these dimly lit passageways and get a real sense of what life was like back then the stories that you’ll hear Tales of people that used to live there the struggles they faced especially during the plague and the Eerie legends that have grown over the years because if you haven’t realized by now Edinburgh is one of the best places to visit for all those kind of haunted things and is actually one of the city’s most haunted spots but also incredibly rich and dense in history and it’s the best place if you want a unique window into the city [Music] past number six is Victoria Street and grass market and grass Market is one of the most vibrant and liveliest places in the old town you see in past centuries public hangings used to take place right here for the late 18th century it even has some of the oldest pubs in Edinburgh one of them is the whiteart Inn which is at least 500 year old Pub where many famous people spent the night including William Wordsworth it was also frequented by the notorious Body Snatchers of the 18th century Burk and hair but nowadays grass Market is home to many events and here’s a tip for you if you are going to any of these pubs in Grass Market take the time to read the story boards at the entryway of each Pub cuz the stories are actually quite [Music] fascinating now Edinburgh is a great place for walking and frequently referred to as the Diagon Alley of Edinburgh Victoria Street is one of the most photographed streets in the city it’s like a magic Alleyway that will make you disappear from the hisor grass market and pop you out at the iconic Royal [Music] mile

years you’ll be able to see a little statue which became a symbol of its unwavering Devotion to its Master but just a stone throw away stroll along candle makers row which is a historic Street that’s lined with centuries old buildings that once housed edinburgh’s candle makers now the street and Cemetery together weave a narrative of edinburgh’s Darker history and you’ll start to get to understand
