- NEW TOWN -

In the past there was a dirty loch between Old Town and the Firth of Forth. These days you can walk through the finest of architecture, New Town. It includes the famous shoppingstreet in Edinburgh: Princes Street. But it has more to offer as you can see when this page unfolds in the coming months.
