    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.
