About this location

A private close off Edinburgh's Royal Mile — a narrow cobbled wynd flanked by 17th and 18th century building fabric. When booked, productions have exclusive access to the close during the contracted period. The character is unmistakably Old Town Edinburgh: worn sandstone, iron gas-style lanterns, worn stone steps. Used extensively for period drama, international tourism campaigns and documentary work. Close management coordinates with tenants for production access. Film Edinburgh familiar with this location.
