Walking in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's medieval Old Town runs down a ridge from the castle, facing the elegant Georgian New Town across a valley of gardens. It is compact, hilly and full of stories.
Hills and steps. Edinburgh is steep. Many routes between the Old and New Towns use long flights of steps; the Mound is the gentler road route.
Surfaces. Cobbles on the Royal Mile and in the closes, slippery when wet.
