Edinburgh is a very good city,it is overloaded with Scottish culture and very beautiful historical & monuments. There are brilliant attractions especially during the summer with the festivals but around a brilliant City you must see it at least once. Highly Recommended More

Being a local we decided to visit my home town's Xmas markets this year on Princess street, and first impressions were good until i spotted what they were charging. First things first if you arrive by train at the Waverly station, it's just a case of walking up the stairs and there you are in a well laid out stretch... More

"Viajar por Escocia" is a very good travel company, managed by Spanish speaking staff. Excellent tours, guides well prepared and offer a wide vareity of day tours. The best is to go to Highlands! A great option for Mexicans, latinamericans or Spanish tourist that, even being bilinguals would not like to pass difficult times for understanding the cute and pintoresque... More

Visited Edinburgh on Sunday 18th December 2011. Simply magical and very enjoyable with international christmas market stalls. There were brass bands, Scottish Pipers and street performers, giving a festive ambience and experience. Traffic has been diverted away from Princes Street and this made walking in the area pleasureable. A very good day was enjoyed shopping for the last minute gifts... More

Did you know that Edinburgh is the second most visited city in the UK, after London? That statement pretty much says it all, but, if that’s not enough evidence for you to make the journey up there then I shall continue and hopefully by the end you’ll be ready to book that flight , hotel, campsite or hostel and go...

Experience the pleasure in exploring the City of Edinburgh. Built on seven hills, is famous as the "Athens of the North". In the centre of the Old Town, the Castle, set upon an extinct volcano! Leading down the Royal Mile to Holyrood Palace and also the now infamous Scottish Parliament. You may say what you like about the Parliament building,... More

Packed,emotional crowd was thrilled with performances from several countries but of course the Scottish "troops" are the heart of the show which was followed by an elaborate(equal to the best we've seen)fireworks display. Crowd is so peaceful. Basically one entrance/exit for 9,000 people and not a shove,push or any foul language. As a US citizen I found myself not only... More
