Parks & Nature
Beautiful garden 10 minutes walk from the flat. Lots of scenery to take in and a visit to the greenhouses is something we would recommend. Entry to the gardens is free and is great way to spend an afternoon.

This one is kind of a no-brainer. Incredible views of Edinburgh and the surrounding area for only a semi challenging walk. If you can manage it go for the sunrise, you will not be disappointed.

Very fun day out, especially for families. Great for all ages with a good swath of exhibitions to visit. My personal favorite is the space section. Also free entry which is excellent.

Very short walk from the city center Carlton Hill is a hidden gem. Lovely architecture and brilliant views of the city make this a must see.
