Attractions in Edinburgh
Edinburgh attractions
The imposing presence of Edinburgh Castle makes it the city's most famous and striking landmark. Its location high up on a mass of volcanic rock gives it an indestructible feel as it looms over the city. The oldest part dates back as far as the 12th century and is swathed in rich history that makes for a fascinating visit.
For some of the best views of the city take a hike up to Arthur’s Seat. The climb takes you up to around 800 feet giving you stunning views that have inspired many a famous writer and philosopher and makes for an interesting day out. Be sure to take some sensible walking shoes with you for the climb.
Housed in a suitably regal building is the Royal Museum of Scotland. Whilst the building itself is of interest in its own right there’s also plenty of diverse exhibits on display to entice visitors, from prehistoric and Roman finds, to Egyptian mummies and ornate French silverware. Whilst across the way lies the Museum of Scotland for those looking to find out more about Scotland’s rich heritage.
Since being decommissioned the Royal Yacht Britannia is now moored in Edinburgh’s port at Leith and is open to visitors wishing to sample the luxury of this glorious liner. Having served the royal family for forty years and sailed over a million miles, this famous ship has plenty of interesting history to share.
Situated at the lower end of the famous Royal Mile, the Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the royal family whenever they are in Scotland. The Palace has an interesting history that guides will be pleased to talk your through and highlights include the story of Mary Queen of Scots time at the palace and the impressive Great Picture Gallery.
