How did this sturdy bridge get its royal name? We are standing before King’s Bridge, a historical landmark right in the heart of Edinburgh.

The bridge earned its name, King’s Bridge, not from a reigning monarch, but from its location. It spans King’s Stables Road, a route once used for the royal stables. Imagine the clatter of hooves and the sight of majestic horses as they traversed this very path, carrying important figures to and from the castle.
