kilts in Edinburgh

[Archangel]

A quick correction - the High street in Edinburgh is the street known as the Royal Mile and is the street between the castle and Holyrood palace.

I left there when I was nine and returned for a summer job when I was seventeen. My grandad took me around, I remember his comment but I also remember some reference to Princes.
I'm assuming he was being colloquial not specific, referring to the touristy areas in general.

Does that work?

It might work in many towns where the "High St" is a general reference, but Edinburgh has the old and new towns and I have never heard of Princes St, as the main thoroughfare of the new town called that.

The High St is the main thoroughfare of the old town.
