We went to pick your own here as we were staying self catered and wanted to get out and about in the countryside, so this was the perfect combination. Lovely views over to Fife and the Firth of Fourth.

Wonderful excape from the city! The views are magnificent, the castle stunning and the gardens just begging for you to amble around them. Japanese gardens a particular highlight.

With small kids we couldn't really climb Arthur's Seat so we settled for this hill instead and the views are pretty sweet! We went around sunset (so...4pmish) and were delighted to find such amazing views so easily!

A really interesting and informative ferry trip with beautiful views across Edinburgh and beyond, as well as a lot of wildlife you don't see elsewhere.

In the winter, it takes some pluck to brave the winds and venture up Calton Hill. In the summer though, it makes for some incredible views over the New town and out to the firth of Forth. The most striking structure on the hill is the unfinished reconstruction of the Parthenon comemorating Edinburgh's 'Athens of the north' status. There's also a monument to Nelson designed like an upended telescope and an old observatory.
