Not only is this place a gorgeous photo spot, it is also home to some of the most historic attractions in Edinburgh!

Some of the historic spot you can find on Candlemaker Row are:

  • Greyfriars Bobby Statue

  • Greyfriars Bobby Plaque

  • Cowgatehead Parish Church

  • Candlemaker's Hall

If you want to feel that true Edinburgh atmosphere then you have to go for a wander through here!

You need to add Candlemaker Row to your list for more amazing gothic, medieval buildings, and classic Edinburgh photography. Candlemaker Row is just a short walk from Greyfriars Kirkyard and has many charming shops and city facades to capture on camera! One of them is the bookshop Transreal Fiction. Other than the shops, you will also find gorgeous angles of the streets themselves. There are so many great opportunities for photography in this area, so do not miss it!
