Grassmarket view from CowgateThe Grassmarket is one of Edinburgh's best known street and will be an essential part of any tourists itinerary. The area is steeped in history and whilst there has been a tradition of on-going architectural development there is no mistaking the feeling of stepping back to medieval times as you wander the cobbled streets passing over the areas where markets were held and public hangings carried out. Many of the buildings in the Grassmarket date back to the 17th and 18th centuries and on the north side, and dominating the skyline, is Edinburgh Castle itself.

There are a large number of cafes, pub's and restaurants in the area and a fine collection of largely independent shops that offer the chance to pick up an unusual and special gift. Key attractions within a few minutes walk include Edinburgh Castle , the High Street and Royal Mile , Greyfriars Bobby , the National Museum of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland. Within five to ten minutes walk are Princes Street   Princes Street and Gardens   , the National Galleries of Scotland ,   Holyrood Palace , the Scottish Parliament , Arthur's Seat , and the Meadows.
