Edinburgh has a wide range of accommodation available and is used to accommodating large numbers of people at the same time. Each quarter of the city has different styles of accommodation and it is worth checking out where you would like to stay and what you want to see. Converted townhouses are becoming increasingly popular, as they tend to offer car parking and convenient access to the motorways. For many people, a visit to Edinburgh is accompanied with visits to the other Scottish cities, The Highlands and the Lochs.

Scottish food tends to be traditional and also quite distinctive. Scotch Beef , Scotch Broth, Haggis, Porridge, Smoked Salmon and Square Sausage are all popular. Many Scotch meals are served with neeps and tatties (potatoes and turnips). Scotch Whiskey is also traditionally served as part of a Hot Toddy (Sugar, Honey, Whiskey and Water) to help cure colds!

Edinburgh boasts some of Scotland’s most famous sites and offers convenient access to many others.
