Everyone knows Calton Hill. You know the one – splashed across Instagram and guide book covers, it's the poster child for Edinburgh's UNESCO-recognised city centre. This two-bed apartment sits at the foot of said famous hill, so you'll get the jump on the legions of tour groups, even catch the sunrise if you wish. Calton Hill not high enough for you? The leg-stretching trail to the top of Arthur’s Seat is a short walk away too with equally Insta-worthy views from the top. Gorgeous inside and out, you've got two outdoor spaces to choose from. Sip wine or a nip of something stronger on the sunken patio, and serve your Burns supper on the bistro table in the walled garden. Two luxurious bathrooms come with a rainfall shower and a deep soaking tub, respectively.

About Hillside
Edinburgh is a city built around seven hills, but Hillside is not as steep as the name suggests. At the east end of the New Town and nestled just below Calton Hill, it’s quieter than the historic centre but still within walking distance from all the main points of interest. It’s fast becoming one of the most sought-after property locations in Edinburgh thanks to its central location and its aesthetically-pleasing...

Stock up at Valvona and Crolla
Valvona & Crolla, a family-run Italian deli, is a real treat – it's stuffed full of high-quality produce, looks beautiful, and there's a cafe to enjoy.

Not surprisingly for the world's first UNESCO City of Literature, Edinburgh has quite a few bookshops – Topping & Company is one of the best.

The field of modern geology was founded by James Hutton – an Edinburgh man – so it's no surprise to find a musuem dedicated to earth sciences in the city.
