13 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Museum-lovers will appreciate Royal Yacht Britannia and National Museum of Scotland. Get outdoors at Arthur's Seat and Dalhousie Castle Falconry. Venture out of the city with trips to Glasgow (Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, The Riverside Museum of Transport and Travel, &more), Berwick upon Tweed (Andy Howeys Birds of Prey Centre & Church of the Holy Trinity) and Strathblane Falconry (in Strathblane). There's lots more to do: explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, identify plant and animal life at The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, steep yourself in history at The Real Mary King's Close, and take an exotic tour of Blair Drummond Safari and Adventure Park.
