Alleyway off Holyrood Road

There has been a lot of redevelopment down the lower part of Holyrood Road near the Palace of Holyroodhouse over the last few years, especially with the Scottish Parliament being built.

Holyrood is an area in located immediately to the east of the city centre, at the end of the Royal Mile, Holyrood was once in the separate burgh of Canongate before the expansion of Edinburgh in 1856. Westerly parts of Holyrood, excluding Holyrood Park, are roughly synonymous with the Canongate and Dumbiedykes areas.
