Property description

The High Street and the Canongate, the city’s world-famous “Royal Mile”, form the back-bone of the mediaeval Old Town. Holyrood Mews lies in the heart of the Canongate, itself an ancient mediaeval burgh and the seat of the ancient Kings of Scotland, and its attractions draw visitors from all over the world. The intensely fascinating “Royal Mile” is dominated at one end by Edinburgh Castle, and, at the other, by Holyrood Palace and the Scottish Parliament . In between are numerous places of interest, above all winding closes and hidden buildings, which create an atmosphere and character which is uniquely that of this ancient city. In practical terms, Lochend Close is a most convenient place to live, just a few minutes walk from Waverley Station and world-class shopping on Princes Street, and all the high-standard amenities and services of the city centre. Meadowbank shopping centre, with its supermarket, is a few minutes away in the opposite direction. The Canongate is served by the 35 bus, which runs between Leith and its excellent restaurants, and Edinburgh Airport, en route crossing Lothian Road, with its theatres, concert halls and cinemas. The whole area is served by excellent cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as great shopping, wonderful open spaces like Holyrood Park, Calton Hill and Princes Street Gardens, and the City’s best galleries and museums. Lochend Close gives easy access to the very best that the City of Edinburgh can provide. Its enviable residential location is enhanced by the dramatic historical, cultural and architectural ambience of one of Europe’s finest cities. Holyrood Mews adjoins Panmure House, once city home of the Earls of Panmure,
but more famous as the Edinburgh home of the famous Scottish economist Adam Smith. Empty for some years, this handsome building is being upgraded by the Edinburgh Business School as an education centre. Landlord Reg No: 360847/230/20201
