8 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Do some cultural sightseeing at Bamburgh Castle and Royal Yacht Britannia. Discover out-of-the-way places like The Glasgow School of Art and House for an Art Lover. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Edinburgh: Swallow Fish (in Seahouses), Rosslyn Chapel (in Roslin) and R Carter & Sons (in Bamburgh). And it doesn't end there: step into the grandiose world of Edinburgh Castle, look for gifts at The Quirky Cuckoo, contemplate the long history of Cragside House and Gardens, and examine the collection at National Museum of Scotland.
