Reviewed By Whatbob - Glasgow, United Kingdom
A lovely drive - many superb views - driving requires care - we had a war crisp day with snow and frozen waterfalls - really enjoyed it - road was quiet for us - could be a hassle if busy.- all single track - it is all sealed.
2. Royal Mile
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 25,301 reviews
Stretch of road connecting Edinburgh Castle with Holyrood Palace, the Queen's residence in Scotland.
Reviewed By BarryE308 - Lake Stevens, United States
This is an unbeleivable place to see people. The shops and historic places are all fantastic, but is is the interplay of thousands of visitors that ebb and flow about the walk that makes it special. You can be in a flowing sea of street performers, bagpipes and excitement, then step down a narrow Close and find yourself in a secret garden with lovely flowers and only the chirping of birds, Wonderfull..
3. Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

Reviewed By N8766KRmarkh - Chippenham, United Kingdom
enjoyed a leisurely stroll with friends who were visiting from the south west. it was a lovely day which helps. Free to enter, really well maintained, lots to look at , easy access, coffee at east gate, food in the restaurant across the gardens which offers a visitor centre and shop that sells plants (which are probably superb but a little pricey!)
4. Calton Hill

Historic neighborhood lined with monuments dating back to the Enlightenment.
Reviewed By eamonnr2015 - Skerries, Ireland
Well worth the climb up to the top whether you go up Jacobs ladder or around by the Ai Road and then up, you can spend some time here taking in the views, well worth the hike up with historical interests here
5. National Wallace Monument
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,560 reviews
A national hero - a national landmark. For 150 years The National Wallace Monument has been standing proudly on The Abbey Craig, outside the historic city of Stirling, and telling the thrilling story of Sir William Wallace, Patriot, Martyr, and Guardian of Scotland.
Reviewed By MiaCD - Fareham, United Kingdom
The climb up to the top of the Monument is well worth the climb and the viewing of the artifacts within are breath taking, the gift shop is reasonably priced as well, we will be back to climb those stairs again!
6. The Real Mary King's Close
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 17,429 reviews
Hidden beneath the Royal Mile lies Edinburgh’s deepest secret: a warren of hidden ‘closes’ where real people lived, worked and died. For centuries they have lain forgotten and abandoned…until now. Visit Edinburgh's most famous Close, which makes Edinburgh's Hidden History unmissable.

We found this attraction by accident, and this made our Edinburgh trip unforgettable. We didn’t know what to expect but this place is fascinating. My only warning would be that the attraction is very dark, there are many stairs and low ceilings, sloping and cobbled floors which makes this attraction almost impossible for those with mobility issues. However if you can manage the physical restrictions you are in for a real treat. You are guided through these underground streets by a well versed guide who helps to emerge you in the history and who in our case was happy and capable of answering all questions. There is no photography inside the attraction which was really disappointing, and you can Of course pay to have an official photo taken, we didn’t bother, but have not stopped telling people about this attraction it was amazing.
7. Fairy Glen
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,222 reviews
The Fairy Glen is a unique and unusual landscape, a geological wonder on the Isle of Skye. It is situated between the villages of Sheader and Balnacnoc.
Reviewed By BillBT2017 - Aberdeen, United Kingdom
Went to explore the stunning landscape and scenery of Fairy Glen, its a magical looking place, situated near Uig. Well worth taking the trouble to go, take stout footwear so you can climb some of the small hills for the views of the surrounding conical shaped hills, its pretty special.
8. Culloden Battlefield
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,982 reviews
This battlefield marks the site of the historic 1746 battle between the Duke of Cumberland and Prince Charles.
Reviewed By 381davidh381 - Markinch, United Kingdom
First time ever been here and it was very interesting with lots of information and a guide who recounts stories and events of the battlefield and people involved. Excellent film room where you literally are in the battle with each wall having different troops fighting and shooting etc. Innovative features such as telling the stories and events from both sides involved on the walls across from each other. Would be interesting no matter if you are Scottish or not as it is such an interesting and important part of Scottish and British history and so well retold and displayed. Wish we could have been there on a non rainy day as the walks through the battlefield were interesting and atmospheric and would have spent longer had we not been so wet. Much better than last time my wife was there years ago and is a definite place to see if in the Inverness area
9. Palace of Holyroodhouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 11,500 reviews
The Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence in Scotland of Her Majesty The Queen. Open throughout the year, the Palace of Holyroodhouse stands at the end of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Explore the Palace's close associations with some of Scotland’s most well-known historic figures such as Mary, Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie, and learn how today it is used by The Queen when carrying out official engagements in Scotland.
Reviewed By mvidro - Washington DC, United States
We bought the "Royal Tour" entry, which entitled us to see Holyrood itself (with excellent headset guides and in-room docents for additional questions), a garden tour (EDWARD, our guide was great), and the Queen's Gallery around the corner (showing "Russia, Royalty & the Romanovs"). We spent roughly five hours touring the facility, including lunch in the cafe. Holyrood was one of the highlights of Edinburgh -- don't miss it!
