Edinburgh & South East Scotland

As Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh combines all you can wish for from a city, with its imposing castle, buzzing cultural scene and proximity to the peaceful rural Borders.

A tale of two cities, Edinburgh has the pleasure of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its unique Old and New Towns. Step back in time to walk the length of the Royal Mile from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace.

The Edinburgh Festivals provide a feast of contemporary culture and entertainment, incorporating the best of creative Scotland. 

A drive south for the day and relax in the rolling hills of the Borders and visit ancient abbeys and grand houses, including the home of the man who invented Scotland's tourism industry: Sir Walter Scott.
