Edinburgh Castle from Vennel Step Viewpoint
The Vennel is essentially an old steep staircase that has been squished between two buildings in Grass Market.
Years ago, it was a popular throughway from the high street and to Brown’s Place alongside the historic Flodden Wall. But, now even the Google Maps pin location has this down as a Castle viewpoint!
At the top of the stairs, you’ll get a platform where you can see a spectacular view of Europe’s oldest fortification and the most besieged castle too!
The reason why this viewpoint is so great is that not only is it photogenic with the old lamppost and historic buildings, but you also don’t get the masses of crowds that the Royal Mile pulls in.
