The route that Pope Benedict XVI will take through Edinburgh in his popemobile has been released by the Church.
The Pope will travel nearly four miles from Holyrood Palace, the Queen's residence in Scotland, to the home of Cardinal Keith O'Brien near Morningside. He will be driven along Regent Road, Lothian Road, and Tollcross.
He will also go along the historic central thoroughfare, Princes Street, passing the Princes Street gardens, the Scott monument – a huge Gothic monument to Sir Walter Scott, author of the Waverley novels – and British high street shops such as Marks & Spencer, Debenhams, and Topshop.
