Staff were absolutely lovely and really helpful - lent me a brolly and then later an iron and ironing board! However the TV shows virtual gambling by default which is pretty disgusting. Should definitely cut that out

The friendliest and most professional staff. Every single person in that hotel was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was great. Nice bar. Rooms were clean and nice. I just wish that they had a mini fridge in the room. Other than that everything was great.

#Detail#
The Tolbooth was built in 1591 and would have formed the local hub for the Canongate burgh, along with the nearby Mercat Cross where merchants met and conducted their business. The Tolbooth would have had many functions, serving as courthouse, burgh jail and meeting place of the town council. The building was constructed for Sir Lewis Bellenden, the justice-clerk for the burgh, and his initials can still be seen over the archway to Tolbooth Wynd.

Bakehouse Close

Bakehouse Close, Canongate on Edinburgh's Royal Mile is one of my favourite closes, because it's so well preserved. Edinburgh Heritage have documents from the 1700's with all the names of the people that lived in the historic close, including Lord Adam Gordon; David Doig, merchant; William Dunbar, weaver and Ewen. Visiting here gives a good impression of what living in the old city must have been like.
