The Westend: Walk in the footsteps of doctors, nurses and inventors

We start our Edinburgh walk tour in the highly acclaimed Charlotte Square and make our way through the leafy streets of the Westend down to St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral. The Westend was developed following the completion of Charlotte Square. The walk will give you the opportunity to discover film locations and stories of people past and present. Those walls have seen many greats... and still do!

Although close to main arteries of the city, the streets are surprisingly quiet. Mostly residential grand houses give way to shopping streets with wonderful artisan shops and hostelries. This gives it that bohemian flair which contributes to its popularity.
