This bonnie apartment is nestled right in the middle of Edinburgh's Old Town. Just a walk away from many of the city's most iconic attractions, it's the perfect place to unwind after a busy day in Scotland's capital. The bright and airy living space has plenty of natural light and wooden floors throughout. You'll love the roomy open-plan setup, which allows you to chat with your guests over a whisky as you cook or relax. And, one of the bathrooms even has a bathtub, where you can sink in and soak away your troubles - bliss. From here, you can wander up to Edinburgh Castle, the impressive stronghold that towers over the entire city. Afterwards, take a walk down to Royal Mile to visit Holyrood Palace, stopping off for a wee dram at one of the traditional pubs on the way. And, if you're feeling energetic, don your hiking boots and ascend Arthur's Seat – the extinct volcano offers awe-inspiring views over Edinburgh to the hills beyond.
