This
site promotes Edinburgh, the Royal Mile and Old Town. it
is for everyone and is more than another 'tourist site'.
The layout of the streetmaps should be familiar to locals
and helpful for visitors.
In 1724 Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe, described
the Royal Mile as
'the largest, longest and finest street for buildings
and number of inhabitants, not in Britain only, but in the
World'.
What he said then is still true today, there is so much
history, culture, and character condensed into one mile...
and it's all here to explore.
With
such a wide range of diverse businesses, activities and
huge amount of historical interest contained here, step
by step, there can few places in the world which has so
much to offer in one mile. (well, slightly more than a mile)
We
hope you enjoy browsing Edinburgh-Royalmile.com and visit
regularly.
