Welcome to Russell House, a historic listed building nestled in the heart of Reid's Court, Edinburgh. Built around 1790, this Georgian property offers a unique blend of classic charm and modern convenience.



The court is named after the Reid family, esteemed smiths and coach makers of the 17th and 18th centuries, adding a rich historical context to this exceptional home. Situated at the bottom of the Royal Mile, the house is only a short walk away from the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood Palace, Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh Castle and many other central Edinburgh's top attractions.

The kitchen is fully fitted and maintained to a high standard, with porcelain tiling and all necessary appliances for modern living.



The house has 3 floors with 1 bedroom, the kitchen and WC all on the ground floor and the living room, 3 beautiful bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms are arranged over the 1st & 2nd floors.



The house is well-served by bus routes and is near Waverley Train Station, ensuring excellent transport links. Additionally, there is 1 private free car parking spaces right next to the house.

Tucked away towards the end of the Royal Mile , this place was a great find. We had a rental car from previous days so it was nice to have a spot to park it in until we left Scotland. Everything was really clean and all instructions were very clear for any questions we may have had during our stay.
