Britain/United Kingdom/England/Place in Edinburgh

Question
I traveled to Edinburgh last Sept and went into a place near Edinburgh Castle that looked like an old church (had stained glass windows and stone walls). They sold post cards and other trinkets. There were different levels. They also had art work, I think that many different artists could display and sell. I think it was near the Nutcracker Christmas Shop. Any idea what the name of this place is? I have a picture I can email you if that helps.

Thanks!!

Answer
Hi Olivia,

It is almost certainly The Hub you are looking for, which is the base for the Edinburgh Festival ticket sales, amongst other things.  Look at this site and if it is not the place, send me a photo and I will come back to you.  http://www.thehub-edinburgh.com/

E-mail the photo to

I hope that helps you.

Cheers,
