Phenomenal location - a stone throw away from the train station and Royal Mile. The hotel’s also very modern and clearly had a refurbishment recently. The breakfast room was on the top floor - offering breathtaking views of the city. The staff was helpful and attentive to all our needs. Our room was well-designed and cosy - just what you need after a long day of sightseeing!

St. Giles' Cathedral

During the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, the fiery sermons of John Knox echoed around this imposing Gothic church. As such, it’s viewed as the cradle of Presbyterianism in Scotland. However, you don’t need to be religious to feel moved by the stained-glass Scottish Saints window or the intricate heraldic carvings of the Thistle Chapel ceiling.

Amazing history.

Amazing history. I'm just sad at the state of the church in the UK. Most cathedrals are now museums or shops. I mean, the father of the Presbyterian Church, John Knox, is buried in it's parking lot! Beautiful building however.
