  • The David Hume Residence (Edinburgh)

    Situated at the top of the famous Royal Mile, 100 metres from the entrance to Edinburgh Castle is the newly-refurbished David Hume Residence. It is in a grade A listed building within the Edinburgh Old Town UNESCO world heritage site, and is named after the famous Scottish Philosopher who took up residence in the culturally significant Riddell’s Court in 1751. The building retains much of the architecture and character of that era and contrasts uniquely to the modern, stylistic interior of the apartment which serves as a superb base from which to enjoy the attractions that Edinburgh and Scotland has to offer all year round.

    Accessed from the entrance to Riddell’s Court at 322 Lawnmarket, a stone spiral staircase takes you up to the second floor apartment.

    Occupying space over two floors, the architecturally-designed apartment provides a comfortable living area with open plan access to a fully fitted kitchen with modern appliances and breakfasting area. A bathroom with a bath and shower attachment complete the lower floor accommodation. A sweeping staircase from the hall accesses both bedrooms which share a Jack and Jill en-suite shower room which is well presented to modern standards. This floor is also complemented by a large balcony off the back bedroom which overlooks the courtyard. It is also worth noting that the all windows to the front of the property have secondary glazing resulting in virtually no Royal Mile street noise.

    As you walk out of the apartment and onto the bustling Royal Mile you will be met with a multitude of attractions - shops, bars, restaurants and, of course, places of historical interest and significance. From the apartment windows, during the Edinburgh Festival you will get a classic view of the Royal Military Tattoo bands as they make their way up to the Castle. The famous shopping areas of Princes Street and George Street are a five minute walk away as are the train and bus stations which provide easy access for trips to surrounding towns and cities. There is an excellent local bus service as well as frequent trams to and from the airport. Edinburgh is also an ideal base from which to head east to the famous Golf Coast, north to the unspoilt Highlands and Trossachs or west to Loch Lomond, Glasgow and the Western Isles.

    Please note: This property operates a key safe, so you can let yourself into the property any time after 4pm. The key safe code will be issued before your arrival.
