The Royal Mile is the popular name for the succession of streets which form the main thoroughfare of Edinburgh's Old Town.As the name suggests, the Royal mile is an approximately one
Scottish mile long, and runs between two foci of
history in
Scotland, from
Edinburgh Castle at the top of the
Castle Rock down to
Holyrood Abbey. It is said to be referred to by locals as "High Street", but properly, this is the name of only one stretch. The streets which make up the Royal Mile are (west to east) Castle Esplanade, Castlehill, Lawnmarket, High Street, Canongate and Abbey Strand. The Royal Mile is Edinburgh Old Town's busiest
tourist street, rivalled only by
Princes Street in the
New Town.
