• Any recommendations for things to do, see or eat in Edinburgh and Glasgow? • Day trips from either? • Ideally, how many days to spend in Edinburgh? • How best to get from Edinburgh to Glasgow? I ask, because I’ve unexpectedly landed a December sit in Glasgow. I think I’ll fly in early to Edinb…

Check out the awesome Edinburgh Castle, stroll the Royal Mile, and visit Holyrood Palace. For art lovers, the Scottish National Gallery is a must.

Thank you for all of those tips!

Thanks for all of the recommendations, @mars !

I’m loving all the love for Edinburgh @Maggie8K - it’s the city where I was born! I think everyone’s given you the recommendations I’d have given you, but if you’d like a little sea air, I’d recommend getting a bus out to Portobello beach. I think it’s the number 26 that heads out that way from Pr…
