Edinburgh B&B Accommodation

Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, is accessible by road, rail and air from all different directions. There are places to visit and things to do at any time of year and the choice is huge. Most obvious "must sees" are the Castle, Holyrood Palace, the Royal Mile, Princes Street Gardens and the Scott Monument. Visit the zoo or the famous Botanical Gardens. Wander around the little wynds of the Old Town or admire the magnificent Georgian splendour of the New Town terraces and circles. Indulge yourself at some of Scotland's best shops and restaurants or visit at Festival time when the city is alive with events of all kinds going on in the International Festival and "Fringe". Explore the museums and galleries or, at Hogmanay, have fun at Scotland's biggest street party to welcome the New Year. Don't forget to listen out for the gun fired every day at 1 pm from the castle ramparts.

A few miles beyond Edinburgh, not far from the Airport is historic Linlithgow. The impressive palace dates back hundreds of years and was the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots. Bonnie Prince Charlie also stayed here but, soon after his defeat at Culloden, the government troops carelessly allowed the place to catch fire, leaving it roofless. It's worth a visit.
