Edinburgh Has It All
Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle
is perhaps one of the most famous castles not only in Scotland but
in the whole of the UK. It's situated at the very top of the Royal
Mile and has become one of the biggest visitor attractions. In fact,
we'd go as far as to say that it's one of the most iconic buildings
in this city. If you love history and architecture, then we know
you'll love Edinburgh Castle and all it has to offer. If you're
still not convinced, perhaps the fact that it's perched atop an
extinct volcano may change your mind?
Edinburgh Zoo
You couldn't find a more family friendly day out than a day at
Edinburgh Zoo. Just a short bus ride away from the city centre,
Edinburgh Zoo is home to over 1000 animals including some seriously
adorable giant Pandas. Located in some stunning parkland, Edinburgh
Zoo boasts a range of animals from flamingos to koalas and even
chimpanzees.
Underground Vaults
From ghastly ghouls and hauntings, the Blair Street Underground
Vault tours are a must. You'll enjoy exclusive access to underground
vaults and some of the world's hidden streets. You'll be taken on an
exciting tour filled with gruesome tales. You can even enjoy private
tours too. What more could you want?
The Dynamic Earth

how we came to be in existence, then we suggest you take a look at

our planet but also the past, present and future of this amazing
