About the location (Old Town, Edinburgh)
The apartment looks over Greyfriars Church (built in 1620) and churchyard to the spires and roofs of the Old Town. There are many tales attached to Greyfriars, perhaps the most famous of which is that of Greyfriars Bobby, a faithful Skye terrier. So devoted was the dog to his master John Gray that when Gray died and was buried in Greyfriars Churchyard, Bobby kept guard over the grave for fourteen years until his own death in 1872. The dog is buried close to his master and his faithfulness is commemorated in a statue opposite the entrance to the churchyard at the junction of George IV Bridge and Candlemaker Row.
The apartment is about a 20 to 25 minute walk from the tram stop "Princes Street" (which runs directly from/to Edinburgh Airport) and a 20 minute walk from the main railway station: Edinburgh Waverley Station.
