Rooftop Reign

Edinburgh’s New Town is a wonderland of Georgian architecture, stunning stonework, and village-like quarters. While it might feel a world away from the city centre, this home is less than ten minutes from the heart of Princes Street – where sights, shopping, and scenery awaits. In an elegant Georgian building fronted by huge columns and gothic railings, this top-floor flat is at the height of style, and of the city. Despite its historic exterior, the decor is modern and understated. And your first stop upon entering has to be the panoramic views of rooftops and the glistening Firth of Forth from the lounge windows. Trust us, this stony scene looks even more dramatic on a famous Scottish rainy day. If you’re staying in, enjoy your own drizzle in the rainfall shower before cosying up on the plush sofa with a tea. For a local wander, visit the Dean Village, just twelve minutes away on foot. This picturesque neighbourhood, founded in the 12th century, is one of the most tranquil and beautiful spots in town. From here, head down to Stockbridge for pubs, cafés, and vintage shopping thirteen minutes from home.
