Edinburgh Trip 04 March 2011
With streets steeped in history and a thriving cultural scene, the City of
Edinburgh offers the perfect balance between all things traditional and
contemporary. During our weekend we shall be offering you the chance to visit some of it’s most famous landmarks, including Edinburgh Castle – which is Scotland's number one visitor attraction, and sits on its own volcanic rock at the top of the Royal Mile. We shall also take time to head the short distance north to Leith and continue the Royal theme with a visit to the Royal Yacht Britannia - which is now permanently berthed at Terence Conran's leisure and retail complex, Ocean Terminal. Decommissioned in 1997, the Yacht belonged to Her Majesty The Queen and was used for official state occasions and private holidays by the Royal Family. In your free time you may like to peruse the fabulous shops that this vibrant city has to offer, or in keeping with our royal theme – take a visit to the Royal Botanical gardens, or the Queen’s official residence in Scotland – the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Whatever you decide you will be assured of a very interesting and enjoyable weekend in Scotland’s first city.
