At the time of writing the Grassmarket is one huge road works. When finished it should be even more pleasant for tourist, shopper, drinker, eater and bummler.

The cobblestone roads and gentle buzz of the strollers, restaurants and pubs create an unmatched charm and harmony within the Grassmarket. The vast open space is lined with an assortment of restaurants offering Mexican, French, Scottish or Italian cuisine, as well as a number of good ole' traditional pubs.

Sitting at the southern foot of the Castle, this historic area houses some of Edinburgh’s tallest and oldest buildings. It is an eclectic mix of activity that bubbles with atmosphere and character and is a wonderful place to sip a cappuccino, stretch your legs or have a pint of ale.

Ah, the lazy, beautiful Grassmarket; a cosmopolitan zone for chilled out eaters and strollers wanting the best of broad, Parisian streets, cosy cafes and restaurants, and green trees. There is a wonderful feeling community here, and the busy city behind the hill seems almost forgot. The Grassmarket is like a small slice of provincial life, watched over by the striking castle above. Some days you will find market stalls stretching its length, which are lovely to wander through, and something makes me want to believe the stall owners have come from far away places where buildings are made of wood and have meadows all around.
Ah, such is the effect of the Grassmarket.
