A guide to combining the Scottish capital with nearby landscapes and getaways. In this guide, we have gathered the key points so you can organise yourself at your own pace and with more confidence.
Edinburgh essentials
Walk the Royal Mile between the castle and Holyrood, climb Calton Hill and explore the streets of Dean Village and Stockbridge. The city is best enjoyed on foot, although it has many steep hills.
Beyond the capital
With more days you can visit Stirling, St Andrews or the Highlands. The distances and the weather suggest planning with flexibility, especially outside of the summer months.
