Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Edinburgh Castle and Inchcolm Abbey and Island. Take a break from the city and head to Portobello Beach and St Andrews West Sands Beach. Explore Edinburgh's surroundings by going to The Glenturret Distillery (in Crieff), Melrose (Melrose Abbey & Abbotsford) and The Scottish Antique & Arts Centre (in Abernyte).
