17 Things To Do In Edinburgh

  • Kara
  • November 5, 2017

Edinburgh was my favorite major city we visited while touring the UK & Ireland. The second we drove in I felt what I can only describe as magic. The ornate buildings, the tiny cobblestone streets, the charming castle overlooking the city. I can see why J.K. Rowling was inspired to write Harry Potter after living here. Find my full Scotland travel guide HERE, or read on to find a list of my top favorite things I recommend doing while in Edinburgh on your trip!

17 Things To Do In Edinburgh

  1. Edinburgh Castle (get there right when it opens to avoid crowds)
  2. Whisky Museum
  3. Stroll Princes Street Garden
  4. Hike Calton Hill
  5. Hike Arthur’s Seat
  6. Walk Around Old Town Edinburgh (it’s magical)
  7. Tea at Elephant Room (where J.K. Rowling wrote)
  8. Harry Potter Trail
  9. National Gallery (it’s free!)
  10. Lebowskis (a themed bar)
  11. Oink (best pork sandwiches)
  12. The Wee Pub (smallest pub in Scotland)
  13. Picnic in the Meadows
  14. Rose Street
  15. St. Giles Cathedral
  16. Water of Leith
  17. Underground ghost tour

I hope this helps you plan a great trip to Edinburgh, Scotland!

{new blog post} wore this outfit out in Edinburgh on the honeymoon. Zoom in on the photo – you can see that I've gained a bit of honeymoon weight. Still wore this pencil skirt because I choose to ignore any part of my brain that told me I look fat and instead listened to the part that knew this outfit would make me feel like a badass. (50% because of the @boohoousa GIRLS tee alone). Today on whimsysoul.com, I'm sharing outfit details and what Girl Power means to me. Link in bio to read, and when you do, leave a comment below on what Girl Power means to you! #girlpower http://liketk.it/2t649 #liketkit @liketoknow.it Download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app to shop this pic via screenshot #ltkcurves #bodypositive #myboohoostyle #whimsysoultravels
