Quote: A brief trip to a city that has been a 'must do' location for a very long time, has spurred me to visit again. A powerful sense of belonging from the moment of arrival - be rocked by Edinburgh!

Edinburgh Rock Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
A visit to the castle on a windy but clear day is a memorable moment indeed. Get a sense of what it must have been like for the artillery who were stationed around the walls in all kinds of weather! You can tour the castle with a free audio guide that has a wealth of information both about the history of the castle and the lives of the Royals who inhabited it. A visit to the castle is not cheap, at £7.50 for adults, but you cannot leave Edinburgh without seeing its castle. A walk in the park below the castle is also a must in autumn when the squirrels are hunting for food!

Roxburghe Hotel Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "The Roxburghe Hotel"

Quote:
A red carpet leads to the discreet hotel entrance, a small gold plaque to declare it''s prescence.

Upon entering reception, you are greeted with a tinkling of the piano being played in the lounge, and flickering candle lamps to create a distingusihed ambiance.

The rooms are well-catered, extremely clean and of a very high quality. If you include breakfast with your stay, it is a satisfying start to the day with plenty to choose from the varied buffet.

To relax and unwind after a day''s exploring in Edinburgh, there is a gym, pool and sauna, open from early to late so you can fit it into your schedule.
