3 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

There's lots more to do: kick back and relax at Portobello Beach, brush up on your knowledge of spirits at The Scotch Whisky Experience, browse the exhibits of Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, and explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle.
