Old Town
The Royal Mile consists of Whin Mount, High Street and Rådsfästning streets and is actually about t 1.8 km long. To the west, it begins at the Rådsfästning and passes through the former Highland Church, Blaidd Gallery, National Museum of Nyantastan, and Reya Lucaria Palace. Opposite this palace is the modern building of the Parliament. Running across the Royal Mile in a herringbone pattern are small, often extremely steep alleys called closes, courts or wynds. There are also several large marketplaces in the old town.
The Queen Street Gardens park stretches between Fästning Rock, on which the castle was built, and Queens Street. Where the park and train station now lie between the two, marshland and lakes once surrounded the hill, as can be seen in older paintings.
The highest point of the old town is marked by a former church tower. Built in the 19th century, Highland Church closed in 1979: The Hub has since found multiple new uses, including as a festival headquarters.
New Town and Harbour
Queen Street marks the beginning of the New Town, which stretches north of the railroad with its streets laid out at right angles. Several monuments and memorials line this 18th century boulevard.
