The neighbourhood
North Castle Street is part of Edinburgh's original New Town, designed by James Craig in 1766. It is so central and yet when you're in the apartment it feels surprisingly quiet. You can easily walk anywhere in central Edinburgh from here. So much lies on your doorstep, from all the quality dining, bars and shopping on George Street. You can have a pint at Ian Rankin's favourite Oxford Bar around the corner. Princes Street Gardens are close by for a walk with Edinburgh Castle as the backdrop.
The tram stops on Princes Street and buses are available on Princes Street, but you can very easily walk everywhere from this very central location.

Central New Town
The Central New Town spans from Scotland Street in the East to Randolph Crescent in the West and from Princes Street in the South to Brandon Terrace in the North. It encompasses most of Edinburgh’s beautiful and enviable Georgian New Town.
In 1766 James Craig, aged 27, entered a competition to design a New Town to ease overcrowding in the Old Town. There were six entries and he won. His plan was for St Andrew Square and Charlotte Square, Princes Street, George Street and Queen Street and was presented to King George III in 1767. Edinburgh’s New Town is now world famous and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. The Georgian New Town is known for its graceful sweeping crescents, wide streets and private central gardens. The beautiful stone buildings have large astragal windows that we love to peep in on a winters evening to see what lies inside. The architectural details and high ceilings in Edinburgh’s New Town put Bath to shame. The architectural highlights are Charlotte Square, Moray Place and Heriot Row.
