I've drawn out the grocery route above. It starts at the bus stop along Princes St. (after work)
Royal Scottish Academy and National Gallery
Princes Street
Old Town (I like the way it looks. It's very Edinburgh)
The view of Old Town over Waverely Bridge
Market St., with the Edinburgh Dungeon on the left.
We took an early turn, need to take a side-street/stairway up to Cockburn St. There's usually a restaurant or two tucked away along these "closes".
Cockburn St. Kitschy shopping (a lot more open & full when not on a Sunday).
Cross the Royal Mile which leads to Edinburgh Castle, but I take it the other way. To South Bridge/Nicolson St.
South Bridge/Nicolson St. It gets progressively more residential and city-ish.
Tesco Metro Supermarket!!
A (former?) church, as I walk along the Royal Mile.
Victoria St. has some more small shops, and it leads directly to Grassmarket.
Grassmarket, the place of many pubs and former hangings.
Another angle of Edinburgh Castle, peering over Grassmarket.
And that's it! (Grassmarket is literally a 2 minute walk from my doorstep)
