Best places to visit in Scotland

Edinburgh

Palace of Holyroodhouse

The Palace of Holyroodhouse, at the bottom of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, is the King's official residence when he's in Scotland. Visitors can explore the 14 state rooms in this 16th-century palace, still used during royal ceremonies!

Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle

The city of Edinburgh is dominated by the huge Edinburgh Castle, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the Crown Jewels of Scotland, and the National War Museum of Scotland. There's a good chance you'll hear some bagpipes.

Edinburgh

The Scotch Whisky Experience

Right on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, the Scotch Whisky Experience is an over-18s trip into the world of whisky. This replica distillery will educate you on the tastes of flavors of Scotland's favorite tipple, and probably get you a little tipsy.

Edinburgh

Blair Street Underground Vaults

The Blair Street Underground Vaults allows visitors to explore a different, darker side of Edinburgh. They were once used as taverns, cobbler shops, and to store materials such as building supplies or – allegedly – stolen corpses! Whatever the story is, these vaults have a rich and fascinating history.

Edinburgh

Holyrood Distillery

Opened in 2019, Holyrood Distillery is the first single malt whisky distillery in Edinburgh's city centre since 1925. Apart from producing a fine single malt to rival the established names in Scotch whisky, Holyrood is also designed to be a visitor attraction that brings guests on a hands-on, multi-sensory, and educational journey into the world of whisky production.
