Parks in Edinburgh

“Lovely place to chill out enjoy beautiful surroundings and colourful gardens. You can have a walk, read a book enjoy a light lunch, take a seat view the water or Arthur's seat. Then go next door to Jock Tamsins garden as this has lovely flowers, fruit trees, views just as delightful . All free except lunch obviously.”

“Nice open space- lots of students hanging out enjoying the sun, playing guitars or sports. Some wrought iron benches along the paths. Loads of daffodils in early April and cherry blossoms come out around mid-April.”

“This garden has lovely scenery, under the Edinburgh castle. Come here for an escape from the city. It is well maintained and perfect for walks, and picnics. Lots of benches to sit and relax. There is a very good playground for the kids and a beautiful fountain”

“My Transit van broke down and they had the right part for it, staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. Best place to get all your car and bike parts.”

“It's been a nice little cruise on the Firth of Forth. I learned a lot about the bridges and islands in the Forth. One can land on Inchcolm Island, but today I just took the short cruise. The crew was perfectly friendly.”

“Stacey, always cuts my hair to a very high standard, just as I like it. !! There is a nice welcoming atmosphere in the shop. Keep up the good work.!! Satisfied customer, Margaret.”

“Corstorphine hill nature reserve, situated beside the Edinburgh zoo, is a peaceful retreat with beautiful greenery and some wildlife. It has nice trails and spots for picnics. It is a perfect place for a relaxing day outdoors.”

“The Royal Mile is an amazing place to visit in Scotland. Full of history, beautiful old buildings, and a great atmosphere. There are many shops, cafés, and historic attractions along the way. It’s a perfect place for walking, taking photos, and learning about Scottish culture. A must-visit place when you are in Edinburgh.”

“First time exploring Cammo Estate and what a lovely serene place it was. Meandering meadows and woodland walks, dotted with ruins and a wee lake. It's quite small but perfect for an afternoon exploring. Toilets were open nearby the Leaf and Bean coffee van (on a Sunday, check opening times as I think they vary). Will definitely come back!”

“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.”

“I love walking here and it handy it's right outside my door so many walks you can do and enjoy feeding the ducks if you fancy it”

“Nice wander up past the Royal Observatory, and you get some fabulous views over Edinburgh.”

“Amazing island to walk out to at low tide. (I like to arrive 2 hours before low tide to give plenty time to cross and wander at a slow pace round the wartime batteries. The anti submarine structure is an interesting sight too”

“1 mile walk to the island over a somewhat slippy path. Beautiful views of the ocean and beach. Beware of tide times they're faster than you think”

“Water of Leith Path is a fantastic walking and cycling trail in Edinburgh, offering a peaceful escape from the city. The path winds along the river, passing scenic spots, charming bridges, and wildlife. It’s perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing walk or bike ride in a serene setting”

“First time here for a solo treat for myself, I was warmly welcomed. As I looked through the menu, it was a tough decision to decide what to eat. I asked for help and Tyson (my waiter) kindly helped advise me make a decision. Didn’t take long, service was quick. Overall delighted with my Ramen, I went for the Steak Takati! I recommend if you like a spicy kick! Very pleased. Thank you!”

“Superb pub. Pies were both excellent and very cheap. Great range of cask beer; the ones I tried were in fine fettle; cool and well kept. Children over 5 are allowed if they have food and are supervised in the back room which is spacious and has a range of Hearts FC memorabilia. The pub is very busy on match days from previous experience but today was spacious and bright. Famous for its very wide whisky range.”

“This is a must see in Edinburgh - simply the best thing I’ve visited in years. £21 entry is hugely impressive value for a moment in history . We spent over 2 hours on the self guided tour which was excellent. Visiting the on board cafe too was really great. The employees there are a credit to the whole atmosphere and were so friendly. Lots of interest for everyone including kids with hoot stops on board with bits of uniform etc”

“Has an amazing time. Tracey was wonderful - she made the whole experience there. So friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the visit.”

“We visited LaSalute just after the new owners taken over. I had been before and found it lovely. I was pleased to see it had been renovated to a high standard. I had the mushroom bruschetta and mushroom pasta done in a tomato pasta sauce My son had the calamari followed by chicken in white wine sauce. We both had a lovely meal and will be back to samle a desert next time as was stuffed. Good luck to the new owners, we will definitely be back”

“Trustworthy! Professional and experienced. Bruce whipped up a great package holiday to the US very quickly, despite one mis-communication which was resolved on the day, all went very well and had a great holiday.”

“Beth was brilliant today in my local store. I had purchased a gift for my husband's 30th but had mistaken the retailer for another. Beth however said she would help as best she could to resolve the tarnishing problem. She was knowledgeable and efficient - The piece of jewellery is now beautiful, like new! Couldn't recommend enough!”

“This is my favorite hotel in Edinburgh. Quiet and tranquil with gorgeous Arthur’s Seat views. The staff here are amazing, hospitable, friendly, they go out of their way to help and are especially concerned about guests who may be choking or coughing while eating. The rooms are modern and clean and the beds are comfortable, windows can open for fresh air. The food is excellent and the cozy space is homey. It’s adjacent to the Scott hotel, with its lush velvet lounge and posh brasserie, giving Downton Abbey vibes.”

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

“It is a dining experience worth every £ we paid. Congratulations to the chefs and the kind staff who served us. We will definitely come again.”

“Emily brilliant at searching out & reaching stock i could not get to, even though she is not that tall. Explained the car park system & put items aside so I could sort out accessible parking. Will shop here again if I'm passing, no longer a store in my locality.”

“Clean and quiet and fun We went with our 3 children all under 10. The wigwams themselves were clean and comfortable. They look out onto a hay field. There are animals on the farm, but you can choose to interact with them or not. Once my 3 year old discovered there were sheep she could be face to face with, that was it. The owners are all extremely patient, friendly and knowledgeable. If you have any questions about places to go and things to do, they can help you out. The kitchen has almost everything you could need for cooking. There is an indoor entertainment room with games, a TV and table tennis. There is an outside playground. And the toilets and showers are all very clean. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay outside of the city.”

“Very friendly and helpful. Good knowledge of area and places to go. Facilities were excellent, level ground to park on. We were very pleased and will book the site again and let friends and family how good the place is.”
