🏰 We never get bored of visiting Edinburgh castle! This impressive fortress dominates the city skyline and sits atop an extinct volcano called Castle Rock. .

We have a Historic Scotland membership which is great for popping in for a quick visit!

The Water of Leith! Have you been? This amazing walkway runs all the way from Balerno to Leith and covers 12 miles. Located near Stockbridge, an Edinburgh neighborhood, this is the impressive St Bernards Well. A natural spring was discovered here in 1760 and the well was subsequently built in 1788. It features a marble statue of Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health and cleanliness. The well was eventually closed in 1960 due to the unhygienic nature of the water. .

Absolutely LOVE Glasgow’s street art scene! The Mural Art Trail is part of the city centre regeneration project that was launched in 2008. This is a depiction of a modern-day St Mungo (patron saint of Glasgow) and references the story of the Bird that never Flew. We almost missed it! I’m so glad our 11 year old happened to turn round at that point and spotted it.

Already ticked off an item from our 2019 Scottish bucket list! Visited Linlithgow Palace 🏰 today. Have you been?
.
.

🔹 It’s the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots 👸🏻 [and her Dad King James V]
🔸 They have a great little quiz for kids 🧒 🔹 The entrance and corridors featured in Outlander 🎞 🎥 It’s where Jamie was emprisoned [Wentworth Prison]
🔸 It’s a short 35 minute drive from Edinburgh if you’re looking to do a day trip from the capital [check out our post for best day trips from Edinburgh]
🔹There’s a lovely walk around the grounds and loch [free] if you don’t fancy going into the palace
