Message from Kristina Bosjanoks

This is one of the best things to do in Edinburgh Scotland for people who love pretty, charming streets and photography. Circus Lane Street is filled with beautiful, cute houses covered in ivy and flowers. In the background, you will see the beautiful clock of St. Vicent’s Chapel. This beautiful street is also located in the famous area of Edinburgh called Stockbridge. This is one of the richest parts of the city and you will find many gorgeous corners and streets. You will also most likely stumble upon a beautiful spot with a restaurant.

Photography tip for this location: Circus Lane is one of the best photo spots in Edinburgh. It is a beautiful street lined with colourful houses and flowers, bushes, and ivy growing in every direction. You will also see a beautiful clock in the background, creating one of the most iconic shots in Edinburgh. The best way to get to Circus lane will be by bus. You take either of the buses: X6, X7, 16, 19, or 43 from Princes’ Street at Stop PQ. You get off at stop PU.

Suppose you are up for a short walk through town; that is also an option! It is possible to walk from the city’s center to Circus Lane. It will take about 20 minutes to walk from Princes’ Street to Circus Lane.
