The south of Edinburgh includes the Meadows and genteel residential areas such as Bruntsfield, Morningside, Marchmont and Newington. These were built up with villas and baronial tenements in the late 19th century and are the main accommodation belt for the city, for students and for visitors.
Old Town

Old Town is the original settlement of Edinburgh. At its core is the Royal Mile, the long street descending east from Castle Crag to Holyrood Palace. This medieval city was cramped for space so it built higher and higher, and stank higher still, hence its nickname of "Auld Reekie".
East Edinburgh

The east of Edinburgh is a collection of neighbourhoods bounded by Holyrood Park, Leith, the coast, and the separate town of Musselburgh. It's a sprawl of residential and industrial districts, and the only two parts of interest to visitors are Portobello beach resort and the hamlet of Duddingston.
