Additional information and options for those going to the weekend

If you’ve never visited Edinburgh before, you are in for a treat. The skyline of this compact city is dominated by the imposing and the (extinct) volcano known as Arthur’s Seat. As ’s capital city, it is a leading centre for financial services, education, government and increasingly tech start-ups (Skyscanner was born in Edinburgh). Every August, it hosts the world’s largest arts festival. Its architecture includes the cobbled charm of the mediaeval old town, and the gracious style of the New Town (nearly 250 years old), both part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Harry Potter fans can see where he was born, whilst there are many other literary, TV and cinematic references (Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Outlander, Trainspotting, Harry Potter….).

If you are able to extend your stay, Edinburgh makes an excellent starting point to go to the Highlands, the Borders, central Scotland – or even its eternal rival, .
