The razzmatazz of the summer street festivals; the high spirits of the world’s largest street party at Hogmanay: Edinburgh is renowned for colour, vibrancy and revelry. But if you’re seeking quiet solitude and the relaxation of the slow travel experience, Scotland’s capital is crammed with hidden oases away from the hubbub of city life. From sculptured gardens to inspiring art galleries and peaceful parks to scenic viewpoints high above the city, Edinburgh is packed with tranquil havens where you can bypass the bustle of the capital to wind down from the stresses of modern life.
