What to do and see in Edinburgh

Take a trip up to the atmospheric Edinburgh Castle at the top of the Royal Mile, home to the mysterious Stone of Destiny amongst other treasures. Brace yourself for the famous one o'clock gun then head next door to one of the capital's quirkier attractions: The Camera Obscura and World of Illusions. Wander down the Royal Mile, taking in the atmosphere and whisky shops, and end up at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen's official Scottish residence.

All aboard for Royal Yacht Britannia

The Queen's former residence-on-water is a popular attraction and an easy drive from Musselburgh. With free all-day parking, you can explore the state and crew apartments plus engine room.
