3 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Discover out-of-the-way places like St Andrews Links and The Kelpies. Change things up with a short trip to The Kelpies & The Helix in Falkirk (about 50 minutes away). And it doesn't end there: appreciate the history behind Scott Monument, pause for some serene contemplation at Rosslyn Chapel, stroll through Holyrood Park, and test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms.
