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

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), Melrose (Abbotsford House, St Cuthberts Way, &more) and Bamburgh (Bamburgh Castle, Grace Darling Museum, &more). The adventure continues: get engrossed in the history at Surgeons' Hall Museums, identify plant and animal life at Scottish Seabird Centre, head off the coast to Farne Islands, and explore the striking landscape at The Dundee Law.
