Dangers & annoyances
Lothian Rd, Dalry Rd, Rose St and the western end of Princes St at the junction with Shandwick Pl and Queensferry St can get a bit rowdy late on Friday and Saturday nights after pub-closing time. Calton Hill offers good views during the day but is best avoided at night.
Women should avoid crossing the Meadows (the park that lies between Old Town and Marchmont) alone after dark - several women have been attacked here. And be aware that the area between Salamander St and Leith Links in Leith is a red-light district: lone women here at any time of day might be approached by kerb crawlers.
