When we were finished in the Princes Street Gardens, we headed into Old Town Edinburgh.

 

(Remember that New Town means 18th century; I think Old Town means 15th century!)

​

In Edinburgh the streets and alleys are called wynds and closes. We paused in the Writers’ Close, where we learned about the most famous writers of Scotland–Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Burns, and Sir Walter Scott.
