20 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

World Heritage-listed Edinburgh combines ancient and modern in a uniquely Scottish atmosphere.

Get out of town with these interesting Edinburgh side-trips: Blackstone Clydesdales & Dig-a-Day Experience (in Cumnock), Linlithgow Burgh Halls (in Linlithgow) and Glasgow (The Riverside Museum of Transport and Travel, Homeless Jesus Statue, &more). There's much more to do: step into the grandiose world of Edinburgh Castle, take in the dramatic natural features at Arthur's Seat, get the lay of the land with Walking tours, and get curious at Camera Obscura and World of Illusions.
