“If you prefer the idea of a B&B in a more rural setting but still within walking distance of the city centre, Michael and Vivien Scott’s elegant Georgian-style house will fit the bill. It has a splendid position above the Water of Leith, in 2-acre grounds, containing a waterfall, weir and (17th-century) windmill from which it takes its name. There are log fires, three large stylish bedrooms and a friendly atmosphere.”

They say

“With Windmill House sitting quietly on a hill surrounded with wild riverside gardens, sloping gently away to a lush river valley and waterfall, you would be forgiven for thinking that you were in the heart of the countryside, miles from anywhere. But you are actually just a mile from the city centre, next door to the National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh.”
