34 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Get in touch with nature at The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Five Sisters Zoo. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Bamburgh Castle and Farne Islands. Get out of town with these interesting Edinburgh side-trips: Berwick upon Tweed (Cocklawburn Beach, Union Bridge, Horncliffe, & more), Snow Factor (in Renfrew) and Melrose (Abbotsford House, St Cuthberts Way, & more). Spend the 22nd (Sun) exploring nature at Loch Lubnaig. Spend the 7th (Mon) exploring nature at Kielder Water & Forest Park. And it doesn't end there: head outdoors with The Kelpies & The Helix, enjoy the sand and surf at Seacliff Beach, take in the dramatic natural features at White Coomb, and identify plant and animal life at St Abbs Head National Nature Reserve.
