Attractions in Edinburgh and The Lothians

Edinburgh, Scotland's capital and a city of two halves – the Old Town and the New Town. Both fascinating and quite distinct. East and West Lothian have rich rolling countryside bounded on the east by the North Sea and in the west by Linlithgow with it's famous Palace. There is lots to see and do.
