Scotland's capital city is a historical jewel, topped by an unmissable castle and the chance to bring history alive at Gladstone's Land by the top of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. The Old Town is classically beautiful and tourists can build on that royal theme by touring the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Summer visitors will adore the world renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Edinburgh campsites lay history at your feet!

Things to do in Edinburgh

Edinburgh, situated on the Firth of Forth's southern shore is a gem in Scotland’s East Coast. With its combination of stunning architecture and striking UNESCO World Heritage it’s no wonder Edinburgh has been a key filming location for The Da Vinci Code, Outlander and Trainspotting.

The city's famous streets include Princes Street with its magnificent Scott Monument that provides excellent views over the city, as well as the Royal Mile with its many shops and pubs that draw locals and tourists alike.

Follow the Royal Mile to the top to reach one of the most famous attractions in the city, Edinburgh Castle, where The Stone of Destiny once welcomed Scotland’s kings, while close to the other end of the Royal Mile is the Palace of Holyroodhouse (Holyrood Palace), the official Scottish residence of The Queen, and all her corgis.

Strolling around Edinburgh's Old Town gives you a taste for architecture, from bustling shops to narrow alleys and winding corners. It’s the perfect place to stop and watch the world go by.

Visitors who love art can enjoy should fend off the crowds at the Scottish National Gallery which has some of the world’s finest collections of Western art. Get educated on Scotland’s true history at the National Museum of Scotland, full to the rafters with Bonnie Prince Charlie and his escapades. The Museum of Childhood is a collection of quirky artefacts you won’t ever find elsewhere, from tiny toy cars to puppets and dolls houses, it’s a quirky trip down memory lane.

Every summer the city hosts the Edinburgh Fringe, the world's largest arts festival, and perhaps also the freshest in terms of talent. A weekend at the fringe is unmissable for those keen on grassroots arts, with all the top comedians, artists and writers in the UK converging.

Edinburgh also has alluring greenspaces to explore including Holyrood Park and Calton Hill with its great views over the city. For those who are up for a steep walk, beautiful Arthur's Seat is definitely worth the effort for the superb panoramic views.

Visitors can make the skip from land to sea and discover the grand Royal Yacht Britannia in person. Or if you favour something land-based, not far out of Edinburgh is the beautiful Pentland Hills Regional Park and the ancient Inchcolm Abbey, originally a priory founded by David I, can be reached by boat.

Less than two hours away, and equally worth visiting is fierce rival city, Glasgow, a chance to continue your Scottish adventure.Â
