Lonely Planet review

Edinburgh's tallest spire (71.7m) was built in the 1840s by James Graham and Augustus Pugin (architect of London's Houses of Parliament) and takes its name from Gaelic services held here in the 19th century for Edinburgh's Highland congregations.

The refurbished interior houses the Hub (473 2015; www.thehub-edinburgh.com; admission free, ticket centre - Mon-Sat), the ticket office and information centre for the Edinburgh Festival and other events.
