What people say

Katrina Milne

Available for hire

"Personally one of my favourite views of Edinburgh. You'll spot the Writers Museum (which I highly recommend) and walk across the courtyard to see the scale of the old tenement buildings. It is usually quiet early in the morning and just off of the Royal Mile's Lawnmarket."
