3 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Step out of the city life by going to Arthur's Seat and Dalhousie Castle Falconry. Appreciate the collections at Royal Yacht Britannia and National Museum of Scotland. When in Edinburgh, make a side trip to see Elie Beach in Elie, approximately Elie away. There's still lots to do: step into the grandiose world of Edinburgh Castle, steep yourself in history at The Real Mary King's Close, and identify plant and animal life at The Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill Local Nature Reserve.

Expect a daytime high around 20°C in June, and nighttime lows around 10°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 14th (Thu) to allow enough time to travel back home.
