6.All of Scotland is a joy to visit

All of Scotland is a joy to visit but Edinburgh has something for everyone. I stayed at the Sheraton Grand and the staff was super (as it was last time!).Edinburgh Castle is believed to have been built on the seat of a dead volcano in the 11th century by Malcolm III and his Saxon queen (later venerated as St. Margaret). It is romantic and has beautiful views of this magnificent city. The National Museum of Scotland is wonderful. When I went it was free.The buses ran at £2.50 for a day ticket .... More

Down the Royal Mile is the Palace of the Holyrood which was founded as a monastery in 1128 and is the Queen's official residence in Scotland. Mary Queen of Scots once lived there.The Edinburgh Military Tattoo will be 1-23 (?) August 2008. One of the new elements will be the 150-piece Golden Eagles who will travel to Scotland from Missouri for the 59th Tattoo as well as the Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes & Drums from Massachusetts.The people are wonderful the food great and it's a beautiful city!Pamela Boyd

Beautiful wonderful city steeped in history also with some fine restaurants and night life. The people are very warm and friendly will help you with anything if they can. Love the hill in the middle of the city (Arthur's Seat) and all the green spaces. I'm dying to go back.... More

a must!Edinburgh is magical. From the moment I arrived in the quaint airport I knew I was somewhere special. The Old part of Ediburgh is really old and the new part is really old so don't miss either. The museum is free and has fantastic art. I stayed at the Howard which was lovely and quiet. The Castle is amazing. You must go to eat at two of the most beautiful restaurants - the Witchery and the Towery. Both owned by same proprietor but very different in menu and atmosphere - yet equal... More

Both owned by same proprietor but very different in menu and atmosphere - yet equally divine.Scotland is so gorgeous - the grass so green and the sheep so white. Go as soon as you can!

Altho' its been a couple of years since I visited Scotland I will never forget Edinburgh. Wonderful people an easy city to get around great shopping and the salmon is to die for. Even the weather was lovely----I went in May. I thought nothing could top London but this certainly does. A visit to Holyrood castle is a must for fans of Mary Queen of Scots. Love Love Love. Can't wait for my next trip there.... More
