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.
New Town

New Town of Edinburgh is 250 years old, in contrast to the Old Town settled for over a thousand years. It was laid out on a grid pattern in the late 18th century with elegant Georgian townhouses, and the intervening loch was drained to become Princes Street Gardens.
