Coming down Arthur's Seat No visit to Edinburgh is complete without a wander down The Royal Mile, a spectacular street headed by a magnificent castle and tailed by a royal palace. My first stop was Gladstone's Land. This is an example of one of Edinburgh's early 'skyscrapers' where people from all walks of life lived on different levels of the building. The house was owned by a rich 17th century merchant. The upper floors are more lavish, including an ornate bedroom where the resident would entertain guests from bed! The ground floor is equally interesting as it is a recreated Luckenbooth - a lockable shop. This Luckenbooth was the workplace of a wool merchant who sold his goods through an arched window to customers on the street. At the end of the day he would lock the wooden shutters and the space would become his living quarter. Nifty! Biscoff slice with Chai Latte and Hot Chocolate. My next stop was inevitably at a tea room! Mimi's Bakehou
