Built in the 18th century, this distinctive stone building was originally designed as part of the city’s first astronomical observatory. Today, it serves as a unique holiday accommodation, blending historical charm with modern comfort. An interesting fact about Observatory House is that it sits next to the iconic Dugald Stewart Monument, one of the most photographed spots in Edinburgh, making it not just a place to stay but a part of the city’s skyline and story. As you waddle around it, stop at the tree and stone beneath, look toward the city, and enjoy the view before you find the penguin stone here.
