Whatever kind of home you're looking for for your Scottish escape, at Big Cottages, we'll help you find it.
Why choose Edinburgh for your group holiday?
When you visit Edinburgh, you'll discover a city where the streets are brimming with great shops, museums and historic landmarks, as well as top-quality bars and restaurants. This compact but fit-to-bursting city has a medieval Old Town and an elegant Georgian New Town, with Edinburgh Castle looming over everything below it.
The cosmopolitan capital city of Scotland is renowned for its buzzing Royal Mile, striking architecture, natural landmarks and attractions such as Arthur's Seat, the famous castle, as well as being the literary birthplace of the world's favourite young wizard, Harry Potter.
Travel to Edinburgh during Edinburgh Fringe and you can dial everything up a few notches, as the city comes alive with music, drama and, of course, comedy.
Perched on top of Castle Rock is the impressive Edinburgh Castle, home to many important Scottish artefacts including the oldest crown jewels in the UK. You can explore the grounds or hop on a guided tour to discover everything about this beloved landmark.
Fancy a break from reality? Take a visit to Camera Obscura and World of Illusions and wander around five floors of interactive curiosities and illusions. Or, if you're feeling arty, pop into the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and gaze in wonder at masterpieces from the 1900s to the present day.
Whisky lovers will be in heaven with a trip to Johnnie Walker Princes Street, where you can sample the finest drams and relax in the stylish bar. You can even book your own personalised whisky experience. For more whisky fun, check out the Scotch Whisky Experience on the Royal Mile.
To get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, pay a visit to Lauriston Castle and Gardens and enjoy learning about Scottish history in the peace and quiet of the idyllic grounds.
No trip to Edinburgh is complete without a scramble up to Arthur's Seat. Located within Holyrood Park, this ancient volcano sits 251m above sea level and offers incredible views of Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Edinburgh is the ideal location for a group holiday, and with so much to do and see, you'll struggle to fit it all in!
