Six minutes from the vast greenery of Holyrood Park, this deluxe studio feels like a world away from local sights such as the ancient volcano of Arthur’s Seat. On a hill with traditional stone buildings, plus an array of tea rooms, shops, and pubs, this modern flat shows another side to the city. With industrial decor throughout, it’s an incredibly stylish place to pour a tumbler of whisky and settle down. We love how black metal features like the coffee table, lighting, and window frames, contrast plush furnishings like the blue velvet sofa. As it’s a cosy studio, there are fantastic space-saving ideas like a foldaway kitchenette. And with mid-century furnishings and abstract art, it's a trendy mix which has a warehouse vibe overall – something very different to what you’ll find outside. The Queen’s Gallery, at her royal residence of Holyrood, is just a five-minute walk away. Book yourself in to see paintings from the old masters, then cross the road to the modern architecture of the Scottish Parliament. In this city of contrasts and opposites, this flat truly fits right in.
