About Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and boasts one of the richest histories of any British city. View prestigious artefacts from Scottish rule at the National Museum of Scotland, followed by hours of wandering through the Old Town’s narrow alleys to see Holyrood House.
Cross the Royal Mile to visit the New Town, where retail therapy awaits tourists and locals alike on Princes Street and George Street. Want to take in all the beautiful surroundings? Climb Arthur’s Seat for sweeping panoramic views of the Scottish capital. You may want to check the weather forecast before — Edinburgh receives rain on average 21 days every month.
If you’re visiting Edinburgh in August, we recommend a stop at Edinburgh Castle and the world-famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. The Military Tattoo mixes displays, music and dance with a global cast of spectacular and talented performers taking part. Don’t miss the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in the summer. It’s the world’s largest performance arts festival that spans across the city.

A city where history dates back almost 8000 years, Aberdeen is known as the ‘Granite City’ due to its locally quarried grey granite which sparkles in the sunshine. You can find plenty of shops, bars, local restaurants and quirky cafes. Over a quarter of Aberdeen is open space, including parks and gardens making it a pleasant city to wander around, plus a short was from the city you can find the coastline with spectacular sandy beaches.
