Welcome

West End Muse is a first-floor flat in a converted 19th-century stable block in Edinburgh's West End, a mews a short walk from Princes Street.

Its owners kept the original features and added colour, working with architects and interior designers, and hung the walls with their own paintings, which gave the flat its name. There's a red velvet sofa against an old brick wall, a log burner, a dining table, a writing nook with parrot wallpaper and a well-equipped kitchen. It sleeps four in two bedrooms with two bathrooms. A hamper of local food and a bottle of prosecco are waiting.

The perfect escape in the centre of a bustling and historic city.

Where it is

Very close to the city centre and castle, yet so quiet at night as it's just off the main road.

Hidden Scotland, the magazine

Scotland, in print.

We want to show you the best that Scotland has to offer. The makers and the creatives, the enduring experiences, the evocative tales, the concealed corners. The roads less travelled that take you to places that matter. The adventures that gather you up and sweep you away. The blend of the wild and the artistic that makes Scotland what it is. We’d love for you to join us.
