It is a mile-long street known as the Royal Mile, from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace, and is known as "one of the most attractive streets in the world" with many royal buildings on both sides of the street, magnificent, and the busiest tourist street in Edinburgh's Old Town. Only Princes Street in Edinburgh's new city can match it. During the annual Edinburgh Festival, the High Street becomes the central focus of the city, crowded with tourists and street artists, and a church-like building at the west end is the famous Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre, where you can go in for a few free drinks. St. Giles Cathedral, which is shaped like the crown of Scotland, is also on the street. There are famous political economists in the square. They once proposed the famous principle of "the theory of the invisible hand" Adam Smith statue. This "the theory of the invisible hand" means that supply and demand are automatically balanced. Prices will be automatically adjusted according to the invisible hand of supply and demand, and will not change at will by human will! How profound! Many Socrates will hold weddings here, and sometimes there are street performers in Scottish dresses playing bagpipes in the square, which sounds wonderful. Visitors are reminded to be in the ancient center of Scotland. On the Royal Mile Road, you can sit in the bar or choose Scotland's local products. Cashmere scarves are famous products in Scotland, the price is around RMB400, and there is a childhood museum (MuseumofChildhood). The museum has a wide variety of fun children's toys, from the cradle period baby to the traditional circus props, puppet clothes that teenagers love. Visitors to the Edinburgh Museum can have a further understanding of Edinburgh. The Holy Lutheran Palace and Holy Lutheran Park are located in the Royal British Museum. At the other end of the avenue, the Queen came to Scotland to live in the Holy Lutheran Palace.

    The Royal Mile is the busiest tourist street in the Old Town as it runs between two significant locations in the royal history of Scotland: Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. The name derives from it being the traditional processional route of monarchs,with a total length of approximately one Scots mile.The streets which make up the Royal Mile are: Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street, the Canongate and Abbey Strand.Today, the Royal Mile is an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions, where you’ll often find events, stands, entertainers and buskers, especially during the Edinburgh Fringe.Try walking all of it and explore the closes as well, as most have an interesting story and/or and amazing view.A part from the castle and the royal palace, the Royal Mile is full of buildings of historical importance. Just to list a few: The Castle Esplanade (a venue for Edinburgh Military Tattoo and other events); the former Tolbooth-Highland-St John's Church; the preserved 17th century merchant's townhouse Gladstone's Land; High Court of Justiciary (Scotland's supreme criminal court); the old Parliament House which now houses the Court of Session (Scotland's supreme civil court); St Giles' Cathedral, the Heart of Midlothian (a heart-shaped pattern built into the "setted" road, marking the site of the Old Tolbooth); Edinburgh City Chambers; Mercat Cross; Tron Kirk; John Knox's House; one of Edinburgh’s all around the year Christmas shop; Scottish Storytelling Centre; World's End Pub; Moray House; the Canongate Tolbooth (now a museum of social history called The People's Story); the Kirk of the Canongate and the new Scottish Parliament Building.

    As the name implies, Royal Mile Avenue is about a mile long, the main road in Edinburgh’s Old Town, with many attractions, restaurants, bars, shops and hotels, and is the best starting point for exploring Edinburgh’s history. #10 We came out of the train station in Edinburgh and were shocked by the appearance of our eyes as soon as we walked to Royal Miles,. It happened that an artist was blowing bagpipes on the corner, and at that time, I felt like I was in the movie. # Royal Miles Both ends connect the witness of Scotland's historic drama, an Edinburgh castle and Holy Lutheran Palace, and are also must-visit attractions for tourists. The whole street does not need to be in any particular order, but it must set aside time to walk here aimlessly, stroll around the shops, see the performances of the buskers, find a favorite coffee shop to sit in for a while, and feel the charm of the medieval ancient city. Victoria Street adjacent to Royal Miles is also known for its exquisite, classical architectural style, and it is worth a walk.

    I have always heard that Scotland and England are very different, but the time is too fast to participate in the group of days (generally to see the beautiful natural scenery of Scotland, what highlands, sky islands, etc., except for self-driving is more convenient with the group) So I chose to stay in Edinburgh for two days. I must feel the style: [Landmark punch card] (Figure 1~4) I chose it. Carton Hills Carlton Mountain can be found smoothly with Google Maps. It doesn't take long to go up the mountain. It overlooks Edinburgh City and can also overlook the throne of Arthur (it is more difficult to climb the throne of Arthur). It’s quite pleasant here, I’ve been sitting on the mountain for a long time, there is a small museum that takes about 6 pounds

    Edinburgh is a city full of romance! My boyfriend likes to take pictures and back the camera. We set off. ∞ Picture one is on the small table on the right side of the Carlton Mountain. You can take a panoramic view of Prince Street here. It is also super atmospheric (you can see a small red book in the photo). All the photos left are taken on the road. There is no fixed location.
