United Kingdom View of Edinburgh Castle from Vennel
Perhaps the most atmospheric view of Edinburgh Castle. Don't miss the spot if you happen to be in Edinburgh!
Photography Tips
Be there early and use the blue hour in the morning. You will be awarded for getting up early by being all on your own with your camera and all the time in the world for the perfect shot. Bring a tripod.
Travel Information
You can park at the Grassmarket (park & display) or just walk from the castle hill down the Castle Wynd stairs to the Grassmarket and across the street to the Vennel. It's a very small path with stairs at the southernmost corner of the Grassmarket.
