This collection features the Royal Mile, a historic thoroughfare connecting the 12th-century Palace of Holyroodhouse with architectural highlights like the Gothic St Giles' Cathedral and the 17th-century Gladstone’s Land tenement. It includes UNESCO-listed monuments on Calton Hill, the hidden underground alleys of Mary King’s Close, and the Enlightenment-era Old Calton Burial Ground.
