Royal Mile Secret Library

Royal Mile Secret Library, Edinburgh

Royal Mile Secret Library is a charming property, brimming with character and perfectly placed in the heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town. The vibrant location, set right in the middle of the famous Royal Mile and just eight minutes’ walk to mighty Edinburgh Castle is steeped in history, culture and stunning architecture and you’ll find an array of independent restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops on the cobbled streets right on your doorstep. Situated on the first floor of a historic A-listed building built in 1902 for the Scotsman newspaper company, we promise you a warm Scottish welcome!  

After a day exploring, you’ll love cosying up in this comfortable space with its antique furniture, artwork and maps. Kick back with a dram of whisky on the vintage Chesterfield in the spacious living room, with its high ceilings. Enjoy a Scottish novel from the wood-panelled walls. The large sash and case windows let in plenty of light and look out onto the impressive stone buildings that line North Bridge. In the dining space you’ll find a large, antique dining table fit for a feast. But what we love the most...a wonderful surprise awaits you hidden behind the book-lined walls. Find the secret opening to reveal your cosy double bedroom.
