Circus Lane

Recognised as one of the most photographed spots in Edinburgh, Circus Lane is full of history. Built in the early 19th century, the row of mews houses was initially used as equestrian stables and accommodations for the staff of the very wealthy residents of nearby Royal Circus.

 

The footsteps of galloping horses and the sound of busy drivers, footmen and stable boys running errands are no longer heard on these cobbled streets. Nowadays, it is an idyllic residential site. Many of the previous stables are now converted into garages.

 

Travellers from all over the world visit Circus Lane to admire the vibrant floral displays, cute Georgian mews houses, colourful doors and the picturesque setting with towering St Stephen’s church in the backdrop.
