Museum in Edinburgh

“A small museum serving as an interpretive centre for Roslin Glen. It provides context on the area's natural history, geology, and industrial past, particularly its historic gunpowder mills. The exhibits enhance understanding before exploring the adjacent woodland paths and sites like Rosslyn Chapel.”

“This charming and comfortable restaurant inside the Scotch Whisky Experience is a wonderful place. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and service throughout our dinner was exceptional. Both my husband and I got a 2-course meal. We started with the sea trout, which was very fresh and perfectly cooked. It was served with a potato cake, and fresh peas with fennel and a lovely white sauce. The dish was beautifully composed and presented. My husband had a 15-year-old whiskey, while I had lovely craft whiskey cocktail. For dessert, I had the chocolate whiskey tart and my husband had the sticky toffee pudding. Both were excellent. A perfect dining experience.”

“Royal Mile is the most popular street and it can be too crowded because it’s cultural history. The architecture of the buildings from medieval era to current is significant to Edinburgh historical background. There’s tons of restaurants, stores and most of tourist attractions is along the Royal Mile including St Giles and the Royal Castle.”

“We had a wonderful tour with Highland Experience! Kenny was a fantastic tour guide in every way. A great mix of sightseeing, history, humor, and culture. Mr. Kirk quickly established the individual circumstances of folks in our group and customized the experience perfectly. We appreciated his extensive familiarity with the locations, including less traveled roads, amazing scenic stops, and every detail - right down to where the best toilets are! While driving, Kenny provided insight, stories, history, and local music that enhanced the drive and sights. Selecting the music was a particular skill - ranging from energetic at times to reverent as well experienced Culloden Battlefield. The local bookings were great - we felt lucky to have dinner and attend a Ceilidh! Kenny was fantastic! The tour bus was clean and comfortable! The weather was very nearly perfect (OK, Kenneth may not control that, but it was great). Highland Experience was a great choice.”

“Beautiful park, great for kids and adults, bring some nuts as the resident squirrels eat them right out of your hand, The parking is free, disabled parking is next to the bandstand, drive through the first parking lot and follow the road through, You could also park in the main street and get access to the front entry of the park, just be mindful of any parking fees or time limits, it is easier to park in the parks, parking lot, There is an old church with an old cemetery, look up to the big square tower of the church and see king Bruce, carved at the top, im not entirely sure but there is a connection to robert the Bruce, from the cemetery the views are absolutely stunning u can see the 3 bridges over the firth of forth Next to this church is the ruins of dunfermline abbey its stunning i prefer ruins, it is free to visit both the church and abbey but for the Abbey they said u had to go online and book your ticket and show the arcade to the staff member You don't need to go into the Abbey grounds to appreciate it, u can look down on it from the cemetery, dogs are allowed into the Abbey but not the church, it is worth going into the church its beautiful beyond words inside A wander around to the glasshouse its full of exotic plants from around the world there is also formal gardens right next to the glasshouse, a bit further up the path heading towards the peacock cafe is a sunken Japanese garden it sadly is a bit over grown and the pagoda thing is falling to bits, its still worth going down there though, Near the cafe, which seemed popular on the day I visited, you will find the peacocks wandering around freely, so its best to keep your dog on a lead in this area, from the cafe its only a short walk back to your car, Overall this park is a must visit especially if you are a history enthusiast, all around the park is hidden remnants of historical buildings My only problem with this park is the chronic lack of signs telling you where to find certain areas, so its just a matter of wandering around until you stumble along something historical There are some pretty steep hills and steep paths made of rocks, but most of the main paths are in good condition but not really suitable for someone in a wheelchair There is an old train engine that kids can climb on, as well as a few large kids play parks There is loads of benches or grassy bits to stop and have a picnic, just keep an eye out for rogue squirrels they really aren't afraid of humans The park is big, around 75 acres if I remember but u can do a short or long walk depending on your fitness Stepping into this park feels like u have stepped back in time, u can feel and imagine how it was like back then, take your time and enjoy the atmosphere of this park xx”

“Really exceptionally good food in a unique style. Each tapas dish was very different but all amazingly tasty. Great veggie options too”

“Split level apartment relatively well equipped with breakfast hamper a nice touch! Our hob was broken so we had a portable one for the 9 days we stayed, a little inconvenient as it took up more space but still functional for making meals. Good wifi. Good water pressure and temp in shower. Bedrooms are small but functional. Note there are no windows to open for breeze. Was granted access to do laundry due to length of stay. Staff was very friendly and checked in daily if we needed anything. Location is perfect in the center of town, next door to the museum and across the street from The Cross and Palace. Would recommend and would stay again.”

“Lovely place even when market is on, great food and lovely clean area”

“A fantastic place if you ever wanna visit Edinburgh, great value for money, clean, modern, walking distance to many places.”

“Really lovely place. Owner was super friendly and helpful. Room was beautiful and clean. Shower worked well. The breakfast was also great with lots of choices. There is a bus stop right outside that takes you right to the centre.”

“Wonderful Andy gold worthy exhibition. Great themes of life death impermanence and so on.”

“Beautiful house with very informative volunteer staff in each main room.”

“Plenty too do my girl loved it no bad price too get in good variety of animals too see only thing a felt was it was waste of££ for train ride as we only seen couple of horses and sum sheep couple of ducks another down side was the wasps that was going about still five star for me”

“Small lighthouse at the entrance to Newhaven Harbour on the Firth of Forth. Made from cast iron and finished in 1878, it was decommissioned in 1942. There is no entry for visitors, but Forth Ports have relit it with coloured lights, which makes for a pleasant spectacle.”

“Absolutely perfect! The location is ideal. The rooms are impeccable. The staff, wow where to start? From the moment you walk in the staff is extremely welcoming kind and warm. The personnel at the bar is so friendly and fun, Leon & Lauren are the best, what a treat this stay was. I recommend 100%. Can’t wait to go back.”

“First visit but will be the first of many to come. Had the 2 course lunch menu, excellent pate served with quality toasted bread and breadcrumbed veal with a spinach and cream sauce, followed by tiramisu from the a la carte menu which was incredibly good. Great service from "Meemo " the lone waiter.”

“Watched AC/DC here August 21st, what a great music venue this is, whilst it's great for rugby it's nice to see the stadium being used for music as well. No issues getting in and out, all the staff we spoke to were pleasant and helpful.”

“A must-visit for a fun and memorable experience! Each floor is filled with incredible optical illusions that kept us entertained and amazed the whole way through. We had a great time exploring all the interactive exhibits. The Camera Obscura itself was fascinating—both fun to watch and interesting to learn about its history. And the view from the rooftop is absolutely stunning, offering one of the best panoramas of Edinburgh. A fantastic place for all ages!”

“Fabulous! My husband and his friend had steak, which they said was cooked to perfection. The Shetland mussels (in cider and shallot cream) were absolutely beautiful. Good wine selection too. Quaint, cozy little place, booking is advisable therefore. Excellent service. Highly recommend!!”

“We had an amazing stay at The Knight Residence by Mansley. The rooms are quiet and rather well-maintained, and the apartment was spacious enough for a family of four. The apartment comes with a washing machine, which is ideal for those who wish to stay longer here. Although it’s a bit warm at night due to the recent heat wave, the helpful staff supplied us with an electric fan to cool the apartment down.”

“(Solo female traveller) This was my first experience using a hostel and it was great. The staff are very friendly and the beds are comfortable. The bathrooms were very clean and it was convenient to have secure lockers in the rooms to store items that I didn't want to carry around all day. The curtain fits well around the bottom of the bed and I felt no issues with personal safety etc. The only negative I can think of would be that the keypads beep when you use them - helpful during the day, annoying at night. However, I am a light sleeper, even with earplugs. I decided to book here again on the return leg of my journey, so it really wasn't that much of an issue!”

“Several really good walks and trails for all ages and fitness levels. There is a visitor center that sells ice cream and juice to keep you going on your walk. There's also a play park area with dedicated areas for BBQ.”

“Went to Christmas special magic show. Great family entertainment. They only have a bar and snacks now, no restaurant. Lovely old building Plenty of free parking after 6pm.”

“Beautiful gardens. Made better for our visit by the flawless weather. The entrance is slightly hidden and could be made more obvious. We drive straight past it. Parking is in the road outside.”

“Lovely walk to this beautiful harbour, very peaceful place and Nice clean toilets too.”

“Absolutely loved my time here and only moved out so I could be close to work otherwise I would have definitely stayed longer! The team were really friendly and welcoming! And I really felt at home and well looked after. The building itself was really nice, and it was great having a gym. It was always easy to order food and deliveries straight to your door. The apartments were quite cozy inside, well done up and lots of storage space too, and I loved the little water of leith river runs that were on the doorstep! Thanks for having me Kingsford team! :)”

“One of the best. Quick tip driver friendly staff. Driver facilities to rival a **** hotel. I tip here most mon/ Tues. Cant understand why DFDS Grimsby dont load back south from here ?”

“Lovely little canal boat to spend a night in Edinburgh. Situated within walking distance of the city centre, the accommodation was clean and comfortable.”

“This apartment was fantastic. Right in the heart, with Edinburgh Castle just a short walk away.”
