Edinburgh Bucket List, Edinburgh, Scotland

There is one city which has a special place in my heart and that is the Scottish Capital of Edinburgh. I first visited this incredible city when I performed at the Fringe Festival in 2009 and have kept coming back for more ever since. Although it is relatively small, they have certainly packed a lot in! You have the historic old cobbled city on one side and then can easily transport yourself to the glamourous new city in a few moments across the Forth bridge. The skyline is absolutely stunning and is full of beautiful architecture which spans back hundreds of years. You can immerse yourself in history, explore Holyrood Park, go on a ghost tour, visit a wealth of amazing attractions and take part in their summer festivals - not to mention this is the birthplace of Harry Potter so if you are a fan, this is a must for you!

It can always be difficult to know what to tick off when you arrive in a new city so here is an Edinburgh bucket list to make sure you experience the highlights.

The first stop for many when they arrive in Edi is the Castle which stands proud at the top of the Royal Mile. It can be seen from all over the city and is a must do for any traveller. Here you can get some fantastic views of the city, try Scottish whiskey, see the Scottish crown jewels and learn about the long history of Monarchs who resided in these walls. Don’t miss the One o’ clock gun which fires from here every day! ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
