Edinburgh City

The beautiful city of Edinburgh is an enchanting place for a winter white break. With vibrant Christmas and New Year celebrations, excellent shopping and New Year favourites like J M W Turner’s stunning watercolour collection at the National Galleries – you’ll be spoilt for choice! What’s more, the surrounding coast and countryside of East, West and Midlothian is perfect for bracing beach walks and invigorating rambles along the Pentland Hills and country parks like Beecraigs near Linlithgow.

Indulge yourself indoors too with a warming visit to the Scotch Whisky Experience or Edinburgh’s lowland malt distillery, Glenkinchie, in Pencaitland, East Lothian. You’ll be spoilt for choice with the vast array of places to eat with our many eatscotland eateries throughout the area, offering seasonal, locally sourced produce. Think tasty berries and hearty puddings!
