Places to visit from Edinburgh Cottages
From these places to stay in Edinburgh, you are ideally located for discovering the rest of Scotland and beyond!
If you fancy getting out amongst nature, then head to the National Parks of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs or Cairngorms. Both of which offer unspoilt landscapes with mountains to climb, wildlife rich trails to follow, and beautiful lochs. On the outskirts of the Cairngorms, you can visit and take to the waters of the most famous loch of them all, Loch Ness, where you can search the waters for the mythical monster.
Along Scotland’s breath-taking coastline, you will find the popular towns and cities of St Andrews, Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen, and Inverness. The latter of which is along the Moray Firth, renowned for its resident dolphins which can be spotted from the shores!
