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

Kids will appreciate attractions like Edinburgh Castle and Royal Yacht Britannia. You'll explore and learn at National Museum of Scotland and Camera Obscura and World of Illusions. Go for a jaunt from Edinburgh to Seahouses to see The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty about 1h 55 min away. There's lots more to do: explore the striking landscape at Arthur's Seat, don't miss a visit to The Real Mary King's Close, get great views at Calton Hill, and look for all kinds of wild species at The Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill Local Nature Reserve.
