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 The Scottish Deer Centre. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Holyrood Park and St Aiden Beach. Get out of town with these interesting Edinburgh side-trips: Melrose (Abbotsford House, St Cuthberts Way, &more), Berwick upon Tweed (Cocklawburn Beach, Union Bridge, Horncliffe, &more) and Bamburgh (Bamburgh Castle, Grace Darling Museum, &more). There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at Surgeons' Hall Museums, contemplate the long history of Cragside House and Gardens, take a tour of Discovery Point, and identify plant and animal life at The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
