The Old Town of
Edinburgh, the capital of
Scotland, is a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has preserved its
medieval plan and many
Reformation-era buildings.One end is closed by
the castle and the main artery, the
Royal Mile, actually made up of four distinct streets named Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street and the
Canongate, leads away from it, down to the now-ruined
Holyrood Abbey. Narrow closes (alleyways), often no more than a few feet wide, lead downhill on either side of the main spine in a herringbone pattern. Large squares mark the location of markets or surround major public buildings such as
St Giles Cathedral and the
supreme courts.
