The old town...

As I understand it, Edinburgh's old town is probably obviosly centred around the castle. This wee outcrop of buildings doesn't look particularly old, especially compared to the buildings to the left and the church spire behind them, but if they do hail from the same period, do you think they realized way back when they were building them, how picturesque they actually would turn out to be, propped on the edge of the Royal Mile, looking over Princes Street gardens?

They looked particularly nice today with the fresh sky we had.
