The Old Town is the name given to the oldest part of Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh. Full of beautiful ancient buildings, narrow alleys, cobbled streets and hidden courtyards, Edinburgh’s Old Town is steeped in the city’s history.

On observation, you would think there was a plan all along when erecting the buildings along the Royal Mile. Turns out that history, wonderment and sheer coincidence are to thank for this gem filled with different delights such as the Museum of Edinburgh, the Storytelling Centre and the Scotch Whisky Experience.

Cherished by locals and visitors alike, Holyrood Park is a city park like no other. It’s made up of three lochs, vast green plains and the dramatic Salisbury Crags which shape the city’s skyline.

Calling all whisky lovers. Glasgow’s Clydeside Distillery offers a complete whisky tasting experience with an exclusive behind the scenes tour, taking you through the whole production process. You’ll learn about the history of the spirit, see distillation in action and taste your way through different whiskies.

Retail therapy is on the cards at Princes Street, as well as a variety of eateries and views of Edinburgh's Old Town and Castle on Princes Street. Originally built as a residential street in 1770, it has since made way for retail and hotels, separating the Old Town from the New Town.

Standing proudly in Princes Street Gardens, the Scott Monument is one of Edinburgh’s most iconic landmarks. The 61-metre-high Gothic memorial – built in honour of the much-loved Scottish author, Sir Walter Scott – is one of the tallest monuments dedicated to a writer. Inside, there’s an exhibition where you’ll be able to learn about the life and legacy of the writer.
