12HRS IN EDINBURGH

Scotland’s Capital City Deserves A Place In The Spotlight

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a city steeped in history, culture, and natural beauty. Stunning medieval architecture meets a thriving arts and music scene, and from its narrow alleyways and busy streets it is always just a stone-throw to serene nature.

There is a lot to discover here: a quaint village in the middle of the city center, a mountain to climb next to the Scottish parliament, barista-brewed coffee in the shadow of a medieval castle. Whether you're exploring the cobbled streets of the Old Town, discovering the city's iconic landmarks, or walking along the water on Portobello Beach, Edinburgh is a city that has many faces.

So much history in the air can seem daunting or stuffy, but the city feels young at heart and exudes an adventurous spirit. Its people are friendly and warm, and excited to share their Scotland with any visitors that arrive with open hearts. 

Let’s discover what makes the ‘Athens of the North’ so special and spend 12hrs in Edinburgh.
