Luxury Holiday Accommodation in Edinburgh’s New Town

The New Town of Edinburgh is elegant and sophisticated - rows upon rows of easy-on-the-eyes Georgian buildings with black wrought iron railings, cobbled roads and sandstone facades. Staying in this area of town means you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere while being close to the heart of the city.

History of the New Town


Edinburgh’s New Town is not actually all that new - in fact it dates back to the 18th Century. During this period the old medieval centre of Edinburgh was becoming overcrowded so the New Town was built to accommodate more people.

The new construction was so beautiful that it was referred to as a masterpiece of city planning and described as “The Scottish Enlightenment in Stone.” Edinburgh residents moved from the cramped medieval Old Town into the beautiful new spacious and stylish homes. To this day the New Town is the largest Georgian city area in the world and it is a shining example of the understated grandeur of this architectural style.
