The Royal Mile

At the heart of Edinburgh is the famous Old Town. The Royal Mile stretches from Edinburgh Castle at the top to Holyrood Palace at the bottom. It has many narrow streets and wynds. The Old Town is also a fine example of how people lived in medieval times in tall, old buildings with not a lot of space for a family. The poor people lived at the very top and very bottom of the buildings, whilst the richer people lived in the middle.
