Craigiehall Temple (historic property built 1759)
Make you trip to Edinburgh truly memorable with a stay at Craigiehall Temple. Built in 1759 and situated in its own grounds on a former part of the Craigiehall Estate, it's Grade A listed for its stunning portico displaying the arms of the 1st Marquess of Annandale. A plaque on the wall carries a quote from Horace: "Dum Iicet in rebus jucundis vive beatus", "Live happy while you can among joyful things". We hope that a stay at the Temple will deliver this experience and stay true to this vision.

Steps off the Royal Mile, comfortable 2 bed flat
The apartment is very central and safe, just steps off the Royal Mile within the Old Fishmarket by St Giles cathedral. Just 5 minutes walk to top attractions such as the Museum of Scotland, the National Gallery, Festival theatre and the Castle. Waverley station, the Meadows , George Street and the New Town beyond are easy walks away too. Great for sightseers, old and young and is NOT a party flat. My family use the apartment when working in Edinburgh and so it is more a second home than a hotel.

All about Edinburgh
Edinburgh’s skyline, with its iconic castle and monuments piling up dramatically across a series of mounts and cliffs, is just one of its many enchantments. This is a city of contrasts, from the Georgian neoclassical formality of its New Town, and the open elegance of its many squares and parks, to the dark magic of its medieval streets and wynds. You can lose yourself in the Old Town’s shadowy cobbled lanes that have been walked for more than 800 years, only to emerge upon the windswept wilderness of Arthur’s Seat, the extinct volcano at the heart of Holyrood Park.
The commercial centre of George Street and Princes Street mixes designer and high street shopping with historic and literary monuments; while the city’s steep hills give way suddenly to a coastline that combines a port, a beach, and a number of golfing links. With an academic institution dating back four and a half centuries and one of the world’s most famous festivals, Edinburgh’s cultural legacy is unmatched. Make sure to check out the city’s culinary offerings, too, with plenty of excellent restaurants and pubs to choose from.
What are the top things to do in Edinburgh?
Calton Hill
Arthur’s Seat is where locals go to get some space, but if you want a view of the Seat itself (and much more besides), head to Calton Hill. It offers an incredible panorama of the city and boasts some monuments of its own, including one inspired by the Parthenon. And on April 30 each year it becomes the focal point for the incandescent celebrations of the Beltane Fire Festival.
The Shore of Leith
These 18th-century docks were once Scotland’s chief trading port. Today their industrial and maritime heritage is transformed into a quirky neighbourhood full of flats, cool cafes, and award-winning restaurants. It’s also home to the Royal Yacht Britannia, while the Water of Leith walkway is a peaceful riverside walk that winds back into the city.
Lauriston Castle and Gardens
West of the city, this architectural gem has magnificent views across the Firth of Forth. The house combines its 16th-century tower with a 19th-century manor house and Edwardian interiors. You can admire its exterior for free; its welcoming wooded grounds are open to the public year round.
