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.

Kleen Cleaners Dry Cleaning and Laundry is the only dry-cleaners in Scotland to be awarded the Royal Charter by Her Majesty the Queen...and to have a bomb shelter!

But the real reason they are included in Secret Edinburgh is because of their little-known selection of vintage garments for sale which, because they have been dry cleaned, have none of the 'vintage' odour so associated with specialist vintage shops.

While you are there, take time to admire the gorgeous curved double fronted windows.
