My Edinburgh “TO DO LIST”

1. Visit Edinburgh Castle The first stop for many when they arrive in Edinburgh is the Castle which stands proud at the top of the Royal Mile. It can be seen from all over the city and is a must-do for any traveller. Here you can get some fantastic views of the city, try Scottish whiskey, see the Scottish crown jewels and learn about the long history of Monarchs who resided in these walls. 2. Walk the Royal Mile A free activity in Edinburgh is a walk along the Royal mile which snakes through the city and provides a wealth of activity at any point of the day. Here, you can grab yourself some typical super tourist souvenirs such as tartan tweed plastered over a plethora of items and in all different colours. 3. Climb Arthur’s Seat Another iconic landmark is Arthur’s seat which stands tall at 250 metres above sea level. You can access the base in Holyrood Park and make your steady ascent to the top. 4. See the sunset at Calton Hill. My favourite viewpoint in Edinburgh, and even all of Scotland, is at Calton Hill which is a UNESCO heritage site. The best part? It’s completely FREE! 5. Sample a Dram of Whisky Scotland is famous for their whisky and it is considered the national drink so it’s almost criminal not to sample a dram (shot) whilst you’re here.
