The Royal Burgh of Culross is one of Scotland’s best preserved 17th-century villages
Where to Visit
Looking for Edinburgh’s must dos? Top of the list is a visit to Leith and the Royal Yacht Britannia, and to spot 6 Times by Antony Gormley.
Mythical sea beasts, shapeshifting water spirits which inhabit our rivers and watercourses. Have you found one wandering the paths looking out for weary travellers to help safely along their way?
Just to the west of Edinburgh, and hidden in the valley of the River Almond, the Almondell Country Park is 97 acres of unspoilt woodland and spectacular views. It is beautiful whatever time of the year you visit.
The gorgeous Attadale Gardens form part of the Attadale Estate, a 30,000-acre highland estate which stretches from Loch Carron to the Applecross peninsula. A botanic garden with a family heart.
Anstruther is a pretty harbour town, famous for fish & chips! Located on the stretch of Fife coast known as the East Neuk, it is about 1.5 hours drive from Edinburgh and just south of St Andrews.
Hailes Castle is hidden away in the most gorgeous location on the banks of the River Tyne just outside the pretty village of East Linton. One of Scotland’s oldest stone castles, dating from around 1220, it has had a fascinating (and horrific) history.
Gorgeous Yellowcraigs Beach is located just to the south-west of North Berwick. Treasure Island was (probably) based on the island of Fidra, Robert Louis Stevenson was a regular visitor to the East Lothian Coast!
Visit the secret beach at Seacliff. Drive down the little winding private through the woods and you are rewarded with spectacular views, a wide sweeping beach, rock pools and of course, the dramatic Bass Rock.
