The Scott is a boutique hotel tucked away on the edge of Holyrood Park in Edinburgh, Scotland, close enough to the city that nothing is out of reach yet quiet enough to feel like an escape. Each room is individually designed, from the Gatehouse to the Petite Double, with details chosen for a personal rather than predictable stay. Open green space starts right at the door, with walking routes and the climb to Arthur's Seat close by, while the Old Town's closes and hidden lanes are nearer than they feel. The hotel is around 1.2 miles from Edinburgh Waverley station, and within a mile of Surgeons' Hall Museums, the Anatomical Museum and the National Museum of Scotland.
