Stand on the Royal Mile and the city rearranges itself around you: the castle broods above, cobbles press their history into your boots, and sandstone façades throw warm light at passing faces. A private photoshoot in Edinburgh turns these urban stages—narrow closes, Georgian squares, river-side lanes—into a short, curated story of your visit.
