The Royal Mile is integral, as part of Edinburgh's history. It runs from The Castle at the top to The Palace of Holyrood House at the bottom. There are many streets and closes off of the Royal Mile. They are all interesting in their own right. The Museum of Childhood is situated half way up, as is The City Chambers, which has underground tunnels and passages, suitable for ghost tours. It is a brilliant day/evening out for the whpe family
