Victoria Terrace

If anything sums up Edinburgh, it is this curved, quirky street above the colourful shop fronts of Victoria Street below. If you are in Edinburgh only for a short time, head for beautiful Victoria Terrace which runs from George IV Bridge to Johnston Terrace and connects the Lawnmarket (part of the Royal Mile) with the Grassmarket below.

For those with longer time to spare, The Scottish Genealogy Society Family History Centre is located at number 15 and welcomes visitors wishing to trace their family tree.

Johnson Terrace Wildlife Garden

Off the Patrick Geddes Steps, adjacent to 25 Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh EH1 2NH
This tiny wildlife garden is the smallest nature reserve managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust.  Thanks to some careful planning it attracts frogs, birds, and the odd urban fox.
