4 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Get some historical perspective at Edinburgh Castle and Edinburgh Old Town. Visiting Arthur's Seat and The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty will get you outdoors. There's much more to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Dalhousie Castle Falconry, make a trip to The Real Mary King's Close, look for gifts at Aquila, and explore the wide array of goods at Jenners.
