Map an exact place
Edinburgh's map is geology made visible. The Old Town clings to a volcanic ridge running from the Castle down to Holyrood, its closes and wynds branching off the Royal Mile like ribs from a spine. To the north, the New Town's impeccable Georgian grid stretches in rational perfection. Between them, the sunken valley of Princes Street Gardens — once a loch, now a park — creates a dramatic gap. And on the eastern edge, Arthur's Seat rises as a void of wildness inside the city.

Edinburgh in every style
The same streets, completely different moods. Choose a look that matches your space.
The Royal Mile's Herringbone
The Old Town's street pattern is one of Europe's most distinctive. The Royal Mile runs along the ridge crest, and dozens of narrow closes branch off at right angles, plunging down the steep slopes on either side. On a map, this creates a herringbone or fishbone pattern that's immediately recognisable. The Rustic theme gives these ancient lanes a warmth befitting their medieval origins.
The New Town's Rational Beauty
James Craig's 1767 plan for the New Town is a masterpiece of Enlightenment geometry. The grid of George Street, Queen Street, and Princes Street, punctuated by Charlotte Square and St Andrew Square, reads on the map as pure order. The Contrast theme makes this grid crisp and legible, with every crescent and mews lane visible.

From the student flats of Marchmont to the harbour village of Stockbridge, Edinburgh's neighbourhoods are fiercely distinct. A map poster centred on your corner of the city — Bruntsfield, Leith, Morningside — is a deeply personal way to hold on to a place that gets under your skin and stays there.
