Flodden Wall
Part of the city's old town walls, this section is in one of Edinburgh's most picturesque locations, the Vennel near Grass Market, overlooking the Castle

The Flodden Wall began at the south side of the castle, running south across the west end of the Grassmarket, where the West Port was located, and continued uphill along the Vennel. A watch-tower or bastion survives at this, the south-west extent of the wall. It then ran east, wrapping around Greyfriars Kirkyard, to the Bristo Port and the Potterow Port, both located in the vicinity of the National Museum of Scotland.Now, you can visit it in the Greyfriars Kirkyard.

Found this place on my way from Grassmarket to university of Edinburgh. I like the pleasure feeling from walking in this street.

It is a wall. I was leaning against it. It didn't let me pass through. It is functional. It seems to do its job. I would score this wall higher, but it was unresponsive.

Best view of the castle in its imposing outcrop from within the city

Must-see in Edinburgh! You'll easily find it up a staircase to the left on the West edge of Grassmarket. Climb on up for great views of the city.Originally built in the 16th century, and then was extended by the Telfer wall. Although this is the famous part, you can also see the wall in Greyfrair's and other bits of wall throughout the city.It's amazing to think that when the walls enclosed the city, many people never left because they couldn't afford the toll (or didn't have a reason to leave). Have a walk around, and you'll realise it's a really small area!While you're here, spend some time in Grassmarket, it's a lovely area!

Not the only place in town where you can see vestiges of the original Flodden Wall, but without a doubt the most picturesque. I work a few blocks away and make it a habit to walk up the steps every now and again, just to remind myself how beautiful a view it is.

Nice view of the castle, but not much to see, as it’s just a wall...

Decent wee corner of Edinburgh, where you can see the castle and the corner where the Telford and Flodden walls meet. Also, the school where Jean Brodie taught is along the vennel. Makes a nice route to/from the Grassmarket to Chalmers street and the university sector.
