6 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Discover out-of-the-way places like Farne Islands and Distillery Tours. Venture out of the city with trips to Bamburgh Castle (in Bamburgh), Cragside House and Gardens (in Rothbury) and National Wallace Monument (in Stirling). There's much more to do: don't miss a visit to The Elizabethan Town Walls, pause for some photo ops at Greyfriars Bobby Memorial Statue, stroll the grounds of Greyfriars Kirk, and admire the masterpieces at Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

To see maps, reviews, other places to visit, and other tourist information, refer to the Edinburgh online trip maker.

In May, daily temperatures in Edinburgh can reach 17°C, while at night they dip to 7°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 25th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
