The Cove is slightly harder to find than we thought but it's a great little gem 20 minute bus ride outside the centre of Edinburgh. No one knows who made the cove or what it was used for - a really mystery to solve!

This is a 15 minutes taxi ride from edinburgh, but probably worth the trip. The staff are certainly all very enthusiastic.

If in Edinburgh you must visit the cove, lots of history and a great way to spend a few hours, so if you have some spare time, you know where to go.

Me and my boyfriend went on a tour in the Gilmerton cove. It was really amazing to see the quite unknown paths and chambers.

This visit was fun and very informative. A hidden gem in Edinburgh and I live there. We took three children who also enjoyed it. Excellent guide. This lady made it fun, the reason I think our grandchildren will remember their visit there for years to come. Well done.

We went here on our way back home. You need to pre book as we didn't and had to wait 2 hrs for the next appt...however is was well worth it. The whole experience is breathtaking. I would say it was one of the best places to invite in Edinburgh. A most!
