WHY EDINBURGH?
Well, it's pure, dead brilliant.
Looking to visit Scotland's breathtaking capital? There are plenty of exciting things to do in Edinburgh. With stunning architecture, endless winding streets and an awe-inspiring castle perched on a dormant volcano, there's nowhere else quite like it.
You're never far from cultural attractions in Edinburgh. By day you can scale a monument dedicated to a wordsmith, admire artworks in galleries and treasured wonders in museums, or wander the grounds of Holyrood Palace. By night you can enjoy tours, musical and theatre performances, or find your favourite dram in a charming whisky pub.
