34 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Take a break from the city and head to Kielder Water & Forest Park and St Aiden Beach. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Holyrood Park and The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Get out of town with these interesting Edinburgh side-trips: Berwick upon Tweed (Cocklawburn Beach, Union Bridge, Horncliffe, &more), Bamburgh (Bamburgh Castle, Grace Darling Museum, &more) and Melrose (Abbotsford House, St Cuthberts Way, &more). There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at Surgeons' Hall Museums, don't miss a visit to Scott Monument, admire the striking features of Cragside House and Gardens, and explore the striking landscape at The Dundee Law.
