Location
Advocate’s Close is one of Edinburgh’s oldest closes, believed to date from 1544 and positioned opposite St Giles’ Cathedral. This steep and narrow lane plunges down from the Royal Mile to Cockburn Street, connecting the different areas of Edinburgh life. On one end of the Royal Mile is the Edinburgh Castle and to the other end is Holyrood Palace - all within an easy stroll from the apartment. There are numerous bars, cafes, restaurants and speciality shops all along the Royal Mile - so plenty to do just walking up and down this street.
Off the Royal Mile you have the Mound leading down into Princes Street and to the New Town of Edinburgh which is the main shopping district (about five minutes down the hill on foot). However if you want an escape from the hustle and bustle then a fifteen minute walk in the opposite direction will take you past the National Museum and on to the Meadows which is a large park beloved by locals.
Advocate’s Close is the perfect location for the Edinburgh Festival venues. The High Street on the Royal Mile (between Cockburn Street and George IV Bridge) is full of vibrant street performers.
