EDINBURGH ROYAL MILE From Holyrood Palace to Edinburgh Castle

EDINBURGH ROYAL MILE From Holyrood Palace to Edinburgh Castle A full tour of the famous Royal Mile, Edinburgh from Holyroodhouse Palace right up to Edinburgh Castle including all the amazing sights and highlights along the way!! The Royal Mile Edinburgh (Scottish Gaelic: Am Mìle Rìoghail) is a succession of streets forming the main thoroughfare of the Old Town of the city of Edinburgh in Scotland. The term was first used descriptively in W M Gilbert's Edinburgh in the Nineteenth Century (1901), “...with its Castle and Palace and the royal mile between“, and was further popularised as the title of a guidebook by R T Skinner published in 1920, “The Royal Mile (Edinburgh) Castle to Holyrood(house)“. The Edinburgh Royal Mile runs between two significant locations in the royal history of Scotland: Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. The total length of the streets between the Castle and the Palace is almost exactly a Scots mile ( km), hence the name.
