How do I box up an Edinburgh experience? My best friend loves Edinburgh and we planned to travel there together, so she could “make me fall in love with the city and Scotland”. She has just found out she has a very aggressive cancer and is now unlikely we will get to go. I plan to travel to see her and would like to take her a parcel of the most wonderful things from Edinburgh so we st…

Traveling from NY to Edinburgh Has anyone done the trip from NY to Scotland? It’s showing a lot of flights that are 17hrs plus. And the shorter ones are way more expensive. I was thinking of just flying into London then getting a separate ticket to Edinburgh. That way I can avoid that long layover I keep seeing of 9+hrs. This would make the trip around 9hrs or 10hrs shorter. …

Is one day for Edinburgh somewhat enough-ish? Hey! I’ve always wanted to visit Edinburgh and came across some cheap tickets in the end of feb. However it would only be one day and it would also be Sunday so I assume some things would be closed. I’m on a smaaaall budget. Do you think it would be enough-ish? I know the minimum recommended time is usually 2-3 days. submitted by /u/nora…

Amsterdam or Edinburgh for a writing trip? I (30/F) live in rural England and want to organise a 3-week stay in a different city this January to finish editing a book I’ve written (and get out of my disruptive household and see if I could take to life elsewhere). I’m used to the cold and darkness so the weather isn’t an issue, and I lived in London for 10 years so am used to city life. U…

Dublin or Edinburgh with a 6 month old? I’m planning a trip for my 30th birthday in July. My son will be almost 7 months old by then and I would like to go to either Dublin or Edinburgh because they are relatively close and the weather won’t be too hot. Which option would be better considering we’ll be taking a stroller pretty much everywhere, I’ll have to breastfeed, change diapers, …

New Year’s Eve Hogmanay Street Party Canceled in Edinburgh The outdoor Hogmanay festivities were called off in Scotland’s capital as forecasters warned of rain, strong winds and snow across Britain.

Edinburgh in Feb I have had a super busy year at work and I want to take a solo trip (43f from NYC) that is low key and historic. I’m thinking of going to Edinburgh and staying in Old Town. I would be going for a week +1 (sat to the next Sunday) and I’d like to sleep in until about 9, grab coffee/breakfast and walk to a museum or castle, do that, meander (more …

Edinburgh for New Years My partner and I are planning a quick trip for Hogmanay. It will be first time in Scotland for the both of us and looking for recommendations. Loosely planning Dec 29-Jan 1 in Edinburgh and wanted to spend a couple days after in country as well (Considering Dunkeld or Glencoe). Is New Year’s worth spending in the city? Or is it similar to NYC?…

8 days in UK in November – is Edinburgh a good idea? I’ve been traveling in the UK for work for a few weeks, and at the end I’ll have a week of holiday to use for personal travel. I’m feeling stuck on where to go, and could use some advice. Initially I really wanted to go to Edinburgh, but since the time change, I’ve been worried that Edinburgh this month might just be depressing. I’ll be with m…

Edinburgh third time Some more ‘hidden’ gems and daytrips Hi all! I fell in love with Edinburgh and will be visiting for the third time coming Saturday. I’m staying for a week. Obviously I’ve done all the ‘obvious’ highlights, most of them twice, and as much as I am willing to do some again so I can show my boyfriend who is visiting for the first time, I’m also real…

4 days in Scotland – skip Edinburgh for the highlands? I’ve never been to Scotland before. My original plan was to see Edinburgh for a day (+catch a performance at the fringe) and then take the train to Fort William on day 2, hike Ben Nevis on day 3, and return to Edinburgh to catch my flight back home. But now I’m thinking it’s a bit too rushed? Would it be better to just spend the entire 4 days in…

ABOUT US: We’ll be interested in doing some nice hiking (nothing too rigorous, 8 miles moderate hiking max probably), staying in cute old towns, and historical castles/churches/monasteries etc. An ideal day would probably be waking up at a homey, somewhat luxe inn, having breakfa…
