From New York City NYC (All Airports) (NY), US for 7 nights
Edinburgh has an almost fairy-tale setting and every step is a revelation. Its magnificent architecture shifts from the proud tenements of its medieval Old Town, to the grace and geometric precision of the Georgian New Town. Above it all stands Edinburgh Castle perched high on its volcanic rock looking down on a city where medieval lanes and elegant, sweeping terraces hold over ten centuries of history, mystery, and tradition.
Enjoy the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, Calton Hill, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Princes Street Gardens, St Giles' Cathedral, Scott Monument and so much more!
2 nights in The Scottish Borders
The Scottish Borders is a hilly and largely rural area, a place of captivating natural beauty, on the borders between Scotland and England. It's truly a place of exuberant allurement with plenty of hiking trails, nature parks, tranquil valleys and magnificent ruined Medieval abbeys. Here you can enjoy rugby (the famous Rugby Sevens game was invented in the Borders town of Melrose in the 1880s), kayaking, surfing, horseback riding (every year the region plays host to the world’s oldest and largest equestrian festival: The Common Ridings) and more. Throughout the year, the region also hosts a variety of events, including the Borders Book Festival in Melrose, the Innerleithen Music festival and horse racing highlights like Buccleuch Cup Day, to name just a few.
Visit the Abbey Ruins, Rugby Sevens, The Common Ridings, Borders Book Festival in Melrose, the Innerleithen Music festival, Buccleuch Cup Day.
2 nights in The Lothians
The Lothians, home to Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh, is a remarkable region. From historic properties to striking architecture, stunning scenery, fascinating wildlife, fine food, world-class golf, and plenty of other stimulating activities, this bustling area never lacks excitement!
Popular destinations in the region include Bonnyrigg, Kirknewton, Uphall, North Berwick, Roslin, and more!
A vacation to the isle of Britain would be incomplete without stopping in Scotland. Edinburgh and Glasgow are some of the most cosmopolitan cities in the United Kingdom, set in an urban landscape with many historic buildings dating from the Victorian era and even earlier, impressive considering Scotland was not spared from the Blitz of World War II. Further afield, rivers flow through beautiful valleys that reach the peaks of the Highlands, an area with its own authentic cultural traditions. Whether you are in mainland Scotland or on one of the offshore islands, this nation offers so many charming experiences for the traveler, from fairytale castles to abbeys in ruins to picturesque villages.
