About the property:
Situated in the Lawnmarket, on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, Gladstone's Land was the home of a prosperous Edinburgh merchant, Thomas Gledstanes, in the 17th century. The display rooms give visitors an opportunity to see how people lived and worked in Edinburgh nearly 400 years ago. It overlooks one of the charming paved courtyards so typical of Edinburgh's Old Town, and is authentically decorated and furnished.
The O’Neill Flat was originally occupied by the O'Neill family for many years in the mid 1900's, when the flat was rented as affordable housing by the National Trust for Scotland. Mrs O'Neill was a resident of the building and also acted as a caretaker for the Saltire Society, a charity that rented office space in the building at this time.
About the area:
Our three holiday apartments are situated in the heart of the city on Edinburgh's Royal Mile known as the 'Old Town'. There is an abundance of tourist shops, restaurants, cafes and bars as well as plenty of history, with both the Palace of Holyrood and Edinburgh Castle nearby. During the Edinburgh Festival (month of August) the Royal Mile is filled with street performers throughout the day. Great fun for all the family, and certainly not to be missed. The 'New Town', to the North of Princes Street Gardens is where you will find the high street shops and the Art Galleries. In Charlotte Square (at the West End of Prices Street) is The Georgian House (NTS) where visitors can experience a taste of high society living, contrasting with the 'below the stairs' life of the household staff who made this elegant lifestyle possible. Next door at No. 6 is the official residence of the First Minister of the Scottish Parliament.
Please be advised that from November 2011 to the end of February 2012, as part of essential conservation work that is taking place at Gladstone's Land, scaffolding will be erected at the flat. As a result of this, guests may experience some noise during working hours and on occasion workmen may need access into the flat to check windows etc.

The flats were originally intended for elderly people of limited means, chosen by Miss Harrison - the first tenant paid a weekly rent of four shillings six pence!
