Tourist attractions

Edinburgh Castle should definitely be at the top of your list of places to visit – listen out for the daily noonday gun that sounds off.

Don’t miss the Grassmarket area of the Old Town, which has numerous quaint little cafés, restaurants and shops.

You can get an unusual panoramic view of the city from the Camera Obscura on Castle Hill in the Old Town. This focuses light into a dark room and gives a 360-degree view of the city outside.

Edinburgh has some great concert and theatre venues as well. The Edinburgh Playhouse and Festival Theatre are two of the best to visit, while the Bedlam Theatre specialises in small, atmospheric productions.

Try and pack in a visit to Arthur’s Seat too, an extinct volcano just east of the city.
