St. Giles Cathedral on the "Royal Mile". The ROYAL MILE is the distance it takes from the Castle at the top of the hill to get to Holyrood Palace at the bottom.

The Castle from Princess Street ~ a formidable landmark which cannot help but impress you!!

I remember working in it when I was a member of the OTC [Officer Training Corps] and I served some high ranking army official a silver service dinner inside the castle...a memorable experience!
