Neighbourhood highlights

Our home is situated in the historic West End of Edinburgh in a Unesco World Heritage street dated from 1825 and one of the best examples of architect, Robert Brown's work. We have fantastic views of the magnificent St Marys Cathedral which opened in 1879 and was designed by renowned Architect Sir George Gilbert Scott who also designed St. Pancreas Station in London, the Albert Memorial and Kings College Chapel . Just around the corner is William Street with its many small local boutiques, cafes and bars. And we are just a 10 minute walk away from Princess Street and Charlotte Square. We are 5 minutes from Haymarket Train station and between two tram stops so there are ample choices for public transport, though Edinburgh is a fantastic city for walking and all of the sights are within easy access of the West End.
