Love, betrayal, intrigue, it all awaits you along the famous Royal Mile in Edinburgh. This historic path leads travellers from the Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyrood House. Several sights are scattered along the way. Become inspired by the Goose Pie House where the poet Alan Ramsey (1685-1758) rested his head, experience true beauty at the Camera Obscura where visitors can obtain a panoramic view of the city, or take a melancholy excursion to Cannongate Cemetery which is the final resting place of the lover of Robert Burns (1759-1796), who is simply known as Clarissa. Other significant sites include Parliament Square, Ramsey Garden, the Queensberry House, and modern establishments like the Loch Ness Discovery Centre, and the Police Museum. The walk is rich in hundreds of years of Scottish history, architecture, and culture. A trip to Edinburgh would not be complete without a stroll down the Royal Mile.
