"Heart of Scotland - Edinburgh" Edinburgh by chesterridenour

Edinburgh Travel Guide: 3,354 reviews and 6,585 photos

Edinburgh is a really neat city with the rich and storied Scottish history and culture all around you. Must see's are Edinburgh Castle, strolling down the Royal Mile, tasting real Scottish Whisky and eating the national dish haggis (only for the strong of stomach). Ask what it is exactly before you try it. Also, take a hike to Hollyrood Park, well within walking distance, with great views of the city, harbour and surrounding coutnryside.

    Great pic of great countryside around you!!! That's the sort of view I've had while flying into Northern England..means I can't wait to get me to Scotland some day. Hope you've had a blast while on Europe-vacation? Maria

    Hey, isn't it the Arthur's Seat in the photo? I didn't know it was part of Hollyrood Park...The view's stunning, anyway )))
