Edinburgh Map Art
Edinburgh's map splits across a dramatic ridge: the castle perches on an extinct volcanic crag, with the Royal Mile descending eastward to Holyrood Palace. The New Town spreads north in a precise Georgian grid of parallel streets—Princes Street, George Street, Queen Street—while the Firth of Forth cuts the northern edge and the Pentland Hills rise to the south, framing the city between water and ridgeline.
