3 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Shop till you drop at Jenners and Aquila. Do some cultural sightseeing at Royal Yacht Britannia and National Museum of Scotland. There's much more to do: identify plant and animal life at The Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill Local Nature Reserve, stop by Cranachan & Crowdie, step into the grandiose world of Edinburgh Castle, and explore the striking landscape at Arthur's Seat.
