Edinburgh is Scotland's compact hilly capital and the leading festival city in the world.
It has a medieval Old Town and an elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical architecture.
Looming over the city is Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland's Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny.
Edinburgh offers world class visitor attractions, entertainment, shopping and dining opportunities. With an unprecedented range of events, a fabulous bar and cafe culture, vibrant nightlife, a varied scene, relaxing spas and beautiful green spaces to unwind in, holidaying in Edinburgh is a delight.
Add to this the spectacular surroundings of the majestic Lothians and the Scottish Highlands and you will have an unforgettable break.
Cramond is one of the most popular and attractive residential districts in the whole of the City of Edinburgh. Centred on a historic Kirk, parts of which date back to the 14th century, this has been a place of christian worshship since the 6th century. The church sits on the site of a Roman fort started around the year 140 AD as a post from which to extend the Roman empire across the whole of Scotland. The effort failed! Passing the church the road goes downhill to the harbour and the sea. When the tide is out there is a causeway walk to Cramond Island which is ideal for picnics - just remember that the tide will come back in again! Another lovely walk is up the River Almond past the waterfall to the Miller & Carter Cramond Brig steakhouse restaurant.
Cramond Village boasts a pub, a bistro and a boat club all on the cottage doorstep where you can enjoy good food, drink and a friendly welcome. Davidson's Mains 1 mile away offers more extensive local shopping with a post office, Tesco's, Boots, fish and chip shop, and an Indian take away. Barnton 1 mile in the opposite direction offers a post office, ScotMid, Chemist, and Chinese take away.
