We had an owl experience, blessed with perfect weather we were set for a good experience. Kylie has a real passion for her birds and an interesting depth of knowledge, we got to fly and handle a number of Owls, giving a really interactive experience, that went all to quickly. Fantastic experience, really enjoyable.

This is our third motorcycle adventure with the family (where we had to rent bikes). Motorrad Central, Edinburgh was easy to work with from reservation to bike return. Friendly staff, great bikes, and a fantastic two-week tour of Scotland, northern England, and Northern Ireland. If I had to find something to complain about it would be the...rain. :) They stored our luggage (that we didn't take on the bikes with us) and had it all laid out for us to repack when we returned.

Rosslyn Chapel is open to visitors again with extra safety measures in place and a new booking system, giving 90 minutes for your visit. Please book your visit in advance on our website. Dating back to 1446, the is just seven miles from Edinburgh city centre and is open to visitors all year. The Chapel's setting and the mysterious symbolism of its ornate stonework have attracted and intrigued visitors for generations. A starring role in The Da Vinci Code propelled it into the international spotlight. There are countless theories, myths and legends associated with the Chapel and our tour guides will be able to tell you more about these, and the building's history, when you visit. Please note that photography inside the Chapel is not allowed but there are no restrictions on outside photography. New visitor centre with touch-screen technology, letting you see the carvings close up; gift shop and good coffee shop. Full details of how to get here and what to see and do is on our website.

For us, family with two kids, Rosslyn Chapel provided amazingly lot of beautiful decorations to see, sacred atmosphere to sense and interesting history to absorb. It's really a place worth a visit.
4. Crichton Castle

This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. A large and sophisticated castle with a spectacular facade of faceted stonework in an Italian style added, following a visit to Italy, by the Earl of Bothwell between 1581 and 1591. Mary Queen of Scots attended a wedding here. This has a facade of faceted stonework in an Italian Renaissance style. The courtyard is fully accessible. Access to areas leading from there depends on the visitor's mobility as each room and cellar has up to three steps leading to it.

Visited with my wife and kids and we all had a great time. Firstly, the location is quite stunning. It feels really isolated from the modern world and, with the exception of a distant farmhouse, the surrounding countryside is completely unspoiled giving you real sense of connection with the past. The castle and its history is well presented and we all enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies. Great afternoon out!
5. Penicuik House & Cafe

We live in Penicuik and the estate is a wonderful palce to walk. The cafe produces great food with a touch of class. It is sufficient for lunch or just a drop in for coffee and cake. Excellent.

Roslin Glen is one of my favourite places to visit. Lots of very pretty walks along the river, under the castle and over the other side of the road at the old mill. You could visit numerous times and go a different walk. Very clean and tidy and quiet if you go first thing in the morning

Where do i begin, from the moment you drive up to this beautiful castle you feel like you're about to step into a fairy tale story!! Surrounded by the stunning countryside and with a very warm welcome from front of house staff you truly are made to feel like lords and lady's of the manor!! Despite not having yet stayed overnight ( but looking to do so soon ), from the reviews you will not be disappointed as the rooms look divine. The spa may be smaller than some you may have visited however dont let that put you off as it is so relaxing and the treatments are to die for, whether its a wee 30min treatment or a signature 2hr treatment you will feel completely refreshed and transformed, included in your package deal you can enjoy either a scrumptious afternoon tea with finger sandwiches, canapes, scones and other delights all served with tea or coffee, or if its something a bit more filling then you have the option of a delicious 2 course lunch ( starter/main/dessert ) its up to you also with a tea or coffee in the 'Orangery' with some breathtaking views, a real chance if you are lucky to see some of the local wildlife. For a night to remember then the famous 'Dungeon' restaurant is well worth a visit, perfect for that special celebration, romantic date night or a treat to yourself, with the candle light...natural stone foundations, tapestry and suits of armour you can enjoy a stunning 3 course meal with perfectly paired wines and spirits before retreating to the drawing room bar with the log fire to make you extra cosy!! All in all Dalhousie Castle is well worth a visit, each time i have visited something else just blows me away, Stunning, relaxing and simply perfect for couples, friends trips and solo visits!!!
