Vacation Rental Description
2009 Small Business Scottish Thistle Award Winner: The Extra Mile
2008 Scottish Thistle Awards Finalist: Customer Care

Pilrig House (built in 1638) is an historic 17th-century Scottish townhouse, uniquely located in a tranquil park, yet it is only a 15-minute stroll to Edinburgh's city centre (five minutes by bus) and all the main attractions - Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile, Calton Hill, Holyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat, the Scottish Parliament, The National Gallery, Edinburgh Botanical Gardens, the fashionable 'Shore' area of Leith, where The Royal Yacht Britannia is berthed.

Pilrig House has a fascinating history - it was owned by the same family, the Balfours, for hundreds of years. Robert Louis Stevenson's grandfather lived here, and RLS - Scotland's most acclaimed author - visited and played in the gardens as a child. He mentions Pilrig House in many of his novels, eg Kidnapped and Catriona.

We let three luxurious, 4-star graded apartments in Pilrig House; offering beautifully furnished, impeccably clean and extermely comfortable accommodation. All apartments are non-smoking, overlook the gardens and park, and each has a free parking space in a private car park to the rear of the house.
