Enjoy your Perfect Day in Edinburgh & The Lothians
The beautiful city of Edinburgh is an enchanting place for a spring and summer break. With a wonderful menu of events and festivals including the spring International Science Festival, the Film Festival and the Edinburgh Festivals including the Jazz, Book and Fringe - you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Add to this our diverse range of attractions from Dynamic Earth and Edinburgh Castle to the Camera Obscura and Royal Yacht Britannia, you are in for a perfect time. For a capital city, Edinburgh is a surprisingly green place and, even in the heart, you are never far from wide open spaces where you can take in amazing views, have a picnic, or just relax and enjoy the great outdoors long into the summer nights.
The surrounding coast and countryside of East, West and Midlothian is perfect for beach walks in Gullane or Yellowcraigs with walking ideas along the Pentland Hills and country parks like Beecraigs near Linlithgow. The area also has a wealth of ideas for days out or longer stays with things to see and do like the Union Canal, The Scottish Mining Museum and The Scottish Seabird Centre.
Indulge yourself too with the vast array of places to eat with our many eatscotland eateries throughout the area, offering seasonal, locally sourced produce. Discover your Perfect Day in Edinburgh
