You'll find plenty of places to visit near Edinburgh: Bamburgh (Bamburgh Castle & Grace Darling Museum), Rosslyn Chapel (in Roslin) and St Andrews Cathedral (in St. Andrews). And it doesn't end there: explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, stroll around Holyrood Park, steep yourself in history at Dean Village, and stroll the grounds of The Necropolis.
