Visit Edinburgh Castle, which dominates the city skyline. Stand in the Great Hall dating back to 1511, and marvel at the precious Scottish Crown Jewels. Get there in time to watch the 1pm firing of the cannon which rings out across Edinburgh.
Must Do:
Walk along the historic Royal Mile to Holyrood Park. Take a tour around the palace to see successive monarchs' royal apartments. Afterwards, hike through the park to enjoy panoramic views of Edinburgh on the climb up Arthur's Seat.
What's New:
Learn all about whisky tasting on a new tour at the Scottish Whisky Experience. You'll be taught all about the distilling process and the history of whisky in the region, before getting a chance to sample a selection of whiskies from across Scotland.
Don't Go Home Without:
Shopping for traditional Scottish souvenirs. Pick up everything from haggis to Highland dress on bustling Princes Street. Stop off in one of Edinburgh's many cosy pubs for a hearty meal before heading back to the hotel.
Tips:
Edinburgh's a great city for culture. Come in August to see the Edinburgh Fringe arts festival and the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Or join street parties at the annual Hogmanay celebrations in December. Make sure you book early as the hotel fills up fast.
