Honoured guests will find themselves just five minutes from, among others, the base of the Castle rock, the Traverse and Lyceum theatres, Princes Street & gardens, the city's largest concert hall, the city's oldest religious site, probably Edinburgh's finest restaurant and the grave of Thomas de Quincey (1785-1859), author of Confessions of an English Opium-Eater and sometime starving genius.

Chariots of Fire!
Make your stay in Scotland really special by hiring a beautiful classic sports car. For a few bawbees we can direct you towards a choice of eight, including a Triumph TR6, a Morgan two-seater, and a Jaguar Mk. 2, 3.4. What better way to explore the land that gave the world the speedometer and the first fatal automobile accident (Paisley, 1834)?
