When ready, browse vacation packages to Edinburgh: A #vacation to #Edinburgh lets you rub shoulders with history. Its Old Town and Royal Mile are filled with the ghosts of medieval merchants and poets, while its New Town shines with the glories of the Scottish Enlightenment. To see Edinburgh in all her glory, climb to Arthur’s Seat, the highest of the city’s seven peaks. #Visit Edinburgh Castle, the symbol of Scotland. Over the last eleven centuries, this castle has been laid siege to 26 times but still it stands, a testimony to the indomitable spirit of the Scots. Explore centuries of innovation at the Scottish Museum, or head to South Queensferry to see the Forth Bridge, an engineering marvel when it opened in 1890. The Royal Botanic Gardens is one of the world’s oldest and most important centers of botanical science, yet it’s still a place which invites one to slow down. For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.
