Also on the Royal Mile is Scotland’s strikingly modern Parliament House, worth a visit for its unique design.

Don’t miss

A day at Edinburgh Castle is not to be missed. This majestic fortress is the location of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, broadcast to millions of viewers around the world every August. Don’t miss the crown jewels, housed within the Crown Room, and the Great Hall’s stunning wooden medieval-style roof.

While you’re there

Spend some time getting back to nature at Princes Street gardens, then enjoy shopping along Princes Street, which is lined with department stores, boutiques and big-name fashion brands. Those looking to buy some local ingredients can head to Edinburgh Farmers Market, which opens every Saturday at nearby Castle Terrace.
