Old travel Blog photograph of the visit of King George V and Queen Mary, in July 1911, to the Triumphal Arch on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland. The thoroughfare is, as the name suggests, approximately one mile long and runs downhill between two significant locations in the history of Scotland, namely Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. The streets which make up the Royal Mile are, west to east, Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street, the Canongate and Abbey Strand. The Royal Mile is the busiest tourist street in the Old Town, rivalled only by Princes Street in the New Town.
