Edinburgh's districts

Old Town
Edinburgh's medieval heart along the Royal Mile, which runs from the Castle to Holyrood Palace. Most of the really famous sites are in this area.

New Town
The other half of the city centre is the Georgian (late 18th century) New Town. The commercial heart of the city, this is what shopaholics make a beeline for.

Stockbridge and Canonmills
Exclusive neighbourhood to the north of the New Town, some interesting independent shopping plus the most relaxing spot in the city - the Royal Botanic Garden.

Leith
Edinburgh's independent-minded port area is a destination in its own right.

Edinburgh/East
The beach district of Portobello and the historic village of Duddingston both lie in the east of the city.

Edinburgh/South
A popular part of town for students, so there are plenty of interesting places to eat and drink. Further out is Edinburgh's Outdoor Playground of the Pentland Hills, and the intriguing Roslin Chapel.

Edinburgh/West
Edinburgh's excellent zoo is here, plus the temple of sport that is Murrayfield rugby stadium.
