World Heritage-listed Edinburgh combines ancient and modern in a uniquely Scottish atmosphere.
Get a sense of the local culture at Melrose Abbey and Holyrood Park. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Rosslyn Chapel and National Wallace Monument. Get out of town with these interesting Edinburgh side-trips: Abbotsford House (in Melrose), The Kelpies & The Helix (in Falkirk) and Linlithgow Palace (in Linlithgow). The adventure continues: admire the masterpieces at Scottish National Portrait Gallery, steep yourself in history at Georgian House, and appreciate the history behind Scott Monument.
