4 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Visiting Arthur's Seat and Gullane Beach will get you outdoors. Head to The Glasgow School of Art and Grassmarketfor plenty of shopping. Get out of town with these interesting Edinburgh side-trips: The National Wallace Monument (in Stirling) and Rosslyn Chapel (in Roslin). There's lots more to do: get to know the fascinating history of Edinburgh Old Town, explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, don't miss a visit to The Royal Mile, and steep yourself in history at The Real Mary King's Close.
