4 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

For shopping fun, head to The Glasgow School of Art or Cranachan & Crowdie. Appreciate the collections at Royal Yacht Britannia and National Museum of Scotland. Change things up with these side-trips from Edinburgh: Rosslyn Chapel (in Roslin) and Bamburgh Castle (in Bamburgh). The adventure continues: step into the grandiose world of Edinburgh Castle, stroll around Holyrood Park, contemplate the long history of Grassmarket, and don't miss a visit to The Real Mary King's Close.
