Welcome to 4/12 Old Tolbooth Wynd, an exceptional penthouse apartment set within Edinburgh's historic Old Town — a truly rare opportunity to enjoy contemporary living amid the city's most iconic surroundings.

The home unfolds over two impressive levels, designed to maximise light, space and the breathtaking views.
