Superb location: Castle view luxury on Grassmarket
License no: EH-102427-T One of the finest locations in Edinburgh, West Bow sits on Grassmarket and the most photographed street in Scotland, Victoria Street: the inspiration for JK Rowling’s Diagon Alley. This spectacular flat is in a traditional, 1800s stone tenement, newly restored to provide a contemporary, open plan living area with picture postcard castle views. Two double bedrooms (one can become two single beds), sleep four in cosy luxury. A stylish home-from-home, bang in the centre.

Craigiehall Temple (historic property built 1759)
Make your trip to Edinburgh truly memorable with a stay at Craigiehall Temple. Built in 1759 and situated in its own grounds on a former part of the Craigiehall Estate, its Grade A listed for its stunning portico displaying the arms of the 1st Marquess of Annandale. A plaque on the wall carries a quote from Horace: "Dum Iicet in rebus jucundis vive beatus", "Live happy while you can among joyful things". We hope that a stay at the Temple will deliver this experience and stay true to this vision
