Parks & Nature
Holyrood Park is a short walk from Edinburgh’s Royal Mile in the heart of the city. It is a 640 acre Royal Park adjacent to Holyrood Palace. The parks highest point is Arthurs Seat, an ancient volcano, and sits 251m above sea level giving excellent view of the city. The hike is mildly challenging but the views are spectacular and I would thoroughly recommend the trek if the skies are clear.

Arts & Culture
The castle is a world famous icon of Scotland and part of Edinburgh’s World Heritage Site. It was recently voted top UK Heritage Attraction in the British Travel Awards and is Scotland’s number one paid-for tourist attraction. I would advise booking your tickets online in order to beat the queues. Once up at the castle you can enjoy the spectacular views and rich history by taking a free live or audio guided tour. When you have finished exploring all the castle has to offer, there are two excellent cafes to sit and relax in. If you go to the Queen Anne Tearoom, be sure to try the delicious generously sized scones which are baked fresh everyday and served clotted cream and a selection of jams

The Jazz Bar is a Manhattan-esque subterranean den with limited seating for 140 people, yet which still manages to feel comfortable and never overcrowded. The entry fee is typically £3 – 5 (cash on the door only) with the money going straight to the musicians. On any given night, one may find a special arts night, a performance poetry reading or an album launch. The drinks menu includes the likes of draft Innis and Gunn lager and some rare Polish vodkas.
