The locations of these central apartments can be seen by clicking on the relevant links below. The regular gridded streets to be seen just North of Princes Street form  the 'New Town', (well, it was new in the 1700s ). It  was laid out for the most part in the late 18th Century, and was conceived as  an  elegant and refined alternative to the raucous  late-medieval Old Town perched on the spine of the Castle Rock above.  The road in the Old Town which leads East from the Castle. has a series of different names at different points, but collectively is known as 'The Royal Mile'. It connects the Castle, at the top,  to the  Royal Palace of Holyroodhouse at the bottom, and 1200 years of Scotlands history  has been  forged  within its immediate environs.

Arriving By Air

A taxi from Edinburgh Airport will cost around £24. Buses from the Airport cost £5 return, and stop on Princes Street, opposite the Castle.  It is then possible to walk via  Hanover Street (becomes Dundas Street), which is the road running South to North from the middle of Princes Street. After 5 blocks, take Cumberland Street on the right, go to the end of Cumberland Street and opposite you lies Dundonald Street. The studio flat is facing you at number 10a, see above. A further two blocks down Dundas Street takes you to Eyre  Place, on the right, and  Eyre Crescent is then accessed from Eyre Place.  You can also take a bus, (#23 and 27 only) in Hanover Street which will take you to the junction of Eyre Place.  A taxi from Princes Street  will only cost £3-4.
For Abbeyhill Crescent, wait until the Airport bus reaches its final stop on Waverley Bridge beside the rail station. Walk via Market Street, Jeffrey Street and Canongate OR. Market Street, New Street, Calton Road. About 10 minutes.

Arriving by Rail

Edinburgh's Waverley Station is also situated on Princes Street, so it is possible to walk or catch a bus to Dundonald and Eyre via Hanover Street, as described above. A taxi from the station will cost about £4 to any of the apartments. To walk to Abbeyhill is even easier, but you MUST then leave Waverley Station by the rear exit (above platform 2) and walk along Calton Road, with Calton Hill towering above.

Arriving by Road

Those arriving by car should access the New Town from the West via Queensfery Road and the Stockbridge district,  or from the south and east via London Road and Leith Walk. We will send tailored driving instructions to anyone who contacts. The Eyre apartment block sits in the middle of the crescent and is numbered 30. The apartment itself is on the ground floor and is numbered 2. The Crescent is 'one way' for vehicles and the entrance to the parking space is on the right, about 2/3rds around the circuit. Those arriving by car to Dundonald Street should access via Cumberland or Drummond, but will be redirected to a parking spot after unloading.  Abbeyhill Crescent is best accessed from the East, preferably via London Road and through the Royal Park (Queens drive). Alternatively, from the South, enter the Royal park via Dalkeith Road or Duddingston Village.
