Edinburgh is built across a volcanic ridge, with a castle on the rock at one end of the Royal Mile and a palace at the other, and a planned Georgian New Town laid out below. The Old Town’s closes and vaults run underneath all of it, which is why the ghost-walk trade here is unusually well supplied with real material.
