Candlemaker Row

In 1645 Edinburgh's candlemakers were required to settle together in a row - hence the name of the street. This first floor apartment (US second), restored by a conservation trust, dates from the early 1700s and is thought to have been the upstairs meeting-room at the inn kept here in the 1800s by Mrs Patterson who also ran the mail coach to Jedburgh.

Owned and looked after by Julie and Richard Watt, the flat is available for self-catering rental for 2 (one bedroom with king-sized bed - also a double sofa-bed in the living room, and a baby’s cot). It is very central and convenient, a couple of minutes' walk from the national museum and excellent specialist shops and restaurants in the Grassmarket, on the Royal Mile and Victoria Street; its proximity to Edinburgh University and the National Library makes it popular with writers, researchers and students’ parents, as well as tourists. There are plenty of excellent places to eat and drink close by, especially in the Grassmarket just at the end of the street.

Julie is a member of The Arts Welcome Scheme and she is happy to make recommendations about what's on in Edinburgh. She holds an award in Ancestral Tourism for excellence in helping guests research their Scottish ancestry; and a Silver award in Green Tourism.
