THIS YEARS NO.1 BEST SELLER (allegedly!)
Hi, I'm James Hessler. Having worked The Royal Mile for over 20 years with my show, I know a bit about the cobbles. I took several months off to write 'The Cobbled Mile' to help you navigate, and enjoy it too.
Interesting insights into The Royal Mile
One of the most historical areas of Edinburgh 'The Auld Toon'. A walk from the Castle to the Palace, visiting everything of interest, passion, love, and ghosts.
Revisit the past and how life was lived
Being built on the remnants of an older city, The Royal Mile presents many unusual cobble stoned streets that housed the populace of the day.
Statues statues and more statues
From the father of Capitalism to the creator of a more socialist (!) fire department, Edinburgh has it all, in bronze and stone.
One Palace. One Castle. One Cathedral
Castle at one end, Palace at the other, with a Cathedral in the 'middle. The Mile throws up a myriad of amazing stories that The Cobbled Mile captures.
Tartan and Whiskey
Two of the main stalwarts of Scotland and Edinburgh. See how tartan is weaved, and whiskey is made...and have a wee dram,
Whilst entertaining with my show in Edinburgh for over 20 years on 'The Mile', my book, 'The Cobbled Mile' is everything I want it to be...a labour of 'love' for over 4 months has come to fruition and already helping others enjoy The Royal Mile even more.
