Edinburgh’s legendary Scottish National Portrait Gallery is within easy reach in the New Town, and the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art – to the west of the city centre – is home to world-famous masterpieces by artists such as Picasso and Matisse.
Literary enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the Royal Meadow’s area of Marchmont is home to Ian Rankins’ fictional detective John Rebus. And if you take a stroll around the Old Town, you can walk in the footsteps of writers such as Robert Burns, Arthur Conan Doyle and Sir Walter Scott.
THE GREAT
OUTDOORS
Edinburgh is known for its abundance of green spaces. Proportionally, it boasts more green spaces than any other city in the UK, accounting for nearly half of its total coverage.
Situated in leafy Marchmont, Royal Meadows is not short of options for access to the outdoors. A beautiful, landscaped walkway leads you through the development to The Meadows, one of the city’s most popular areas. The 27 acres of elegant parkland offers, paths, cycle lanes and sports pitches and is host to an array of cafés, children’s play areas, tennis courts and a croquet club.
A feast
for the senses
There are hundreds of excellent restaurants and bars across the city, and – as luck would have it – some of the best of them happen to be within easy reach of Royal Meadows. Fine dining restaurant Kora by award-winning chef Tom Kitchin, for example, and steak restaurant Chop House are both a mere stroll away in Bruntsfield. Also close to home are the Decanter Winery & Dinery, The Blackbird Bar & Restaurant, and Black Ivy – a popular cocktail bar and restaurant.

Of learning opportunities
Children and students alike are well catered for, with ample choice of leading schools and universities offering an outstanding all-round education.
