This walk along Princes Street and up Calton Hill gives you the conversation that good friends, Robert Louis Stevenson and Henry James, may very well have had on one of their long evenings at Skerryvore in Bournemouth. They had both written about Edinburgh in the 1870's. It starts on the south side of Princes Street, facing Edinburgh Castle, with your back to the end of Castle Street.
