No trip to Edinburgh would be complete without a trip to the castle. Great views from the top of the mound on a clear day.

I love Holyrood Palace, not always as busy as the castle. Beautiful building steeped in history and a short walk from Holyrood Park.

Parks & Nature
It's gotta be done... walk off the beer and chips, great for clearing a hangover! Views from the top are amazing, doesn't take long to walk up. If you don't fancy the climb, wander round Holyrood Park instead.
