World Heritage-listed Edinburgh combines ancient and modern in a uniquely Scottish atmosphere.
Edinburgh is known for historic sites, museums, nature, nightlife, and childrens museums.

Expect a daytime high around 7°C in January, and nighttime lows around 1°C. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 31st (Tue) so you can go by car back home.
