3 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Kick off your visit on the 28th (Tue): don't miss a visit to The Royal Mile, steep yourself in history at Grassmarket, then step into the grandiose world of Edinburgh Castle, then look for gifts at Cranachan & Crowdie, and finally wander the streets of Edinburgh Old Town. Here are some ideas for day two: get a new perspective on nature at National Museum of Scotland and then pause for some serene contemplation at Rosslyn Chapel.
