Circus Lane, Edinburgh is my favourite spot in the city for a quiet walk and some lovely photographs. It’s no wonder every Edinburgh photographer seems to be in love with it. I’d seen Circus Lane SO many times online before I hunted it out that I was sort of expecting it to not be that pretty in real life. But it was. Believe the hype, for once. All the terraced mews houses have pots and hanging baskets outside so it’s all colourful and floral. Some great front doors, too. Magical. There’s not much else to say really – it is just a lane. But a very attractive one, so you won’t regret going a little out of your way to find it if you’re already in Edinburgh.
No matter how many times I’ve been to Edinburgh, there’s always another little hidden gem to discover. This is one thing I really love about the city and one of the many reasons I keep going back over the years.
Anyway, a lot of people (according to my Google Analytics stats, anyway) end up reading my Edinburgh blog posts after searching for ‘Circus Lane’, even though I’d only mentioned it in passing in them. So I thought I’d whack out this short post about Circus Lane itself. Give the people what they want and all that.
Hopefully, it’ll be a wee bit of useful information if you’re planning a visit there while you’re in Edinburgh. Get your cameras at the ready…
