Edinburgh- ScotlandUtterly captivating, it’s no surprise that 3 times Edinburgh has been voted best UK city by Conde Nast travellers. And for six years running this magnificent capital of Scotland received the same accolades from Guardian and Observer readers.
Geared up for all year round visitors, whatever the weather, this city famous for its dramatic skylines has so much to offer for every age and every interest. Many of the museums are free. With a lively arts and culture scene and exciting nightlife, stylish and cosmopolitan restaurants, this is also a city bursting with history and heritage.
Think Edinburgh and festivals spring to mind, the most famous of which are the International and Festival Fringe Festivals in August. But visit in December and the streets are equally lively, even at night when you can join an organised ghost-walk. The shopping is world-class. Sundays are little different to any other day of the week, the choice of activities endless.
But if bustle is not your choice, there are lots of parks and green spaces to marvel at and relax in , and a stiff climb up Arthur’s Seat, site of an extinct volcano, will reward you with splendid views over the city and Firth of Forth.
Looped around Edinburgh are the Lothians, Mid, East and West Lothian, all within a half-hour drive. Expand your horizons: enjoy a day at the seaside, a visit to a distillery or check out the controls of Concorde. Play a round of golf on one of the many golf-courses, enjoy the hills on horseback or travel back in history at Linlithgow Palace, birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots.
Maybe even stay on a farm. Award-winning Crosswoodhill Farm Holiday Cottages, just half an hour from the heart of Edinburgh offer 3, 4 and 5 Star self-catering accommodation with built-in customer care; click here for more details.
