Weekend Getaway Ideas
Weekend Getaway Ideas
There are few things as exciting as the prospect of a weekend away. The hurried Friday exit, complete with the knowledge that within hours you’ll be somewhere entirely new, is a truly wonderful feeling. With such accessible transport links and an incredibly diverse array of areas, Scotland is one of the best countries in the world for these kinds of mini-breaks. Smaller towns surrounded by remote landscapes are reachable just as easily as the titanic cities that brim with life and culture. This article highlights just a few of the possible places on offer to spend an unforgettable weekend away.
Draped across its seven rolling peaks, Scotland’s capital city holds countless places ripe for exploring across the whole spectrum of interests. Within the UK, Edinburgh is beaten only by London in terms of annual tourist popularity. This is in no small part due to its celebrated yearly events, such as the Hogmanay Street Party and the legendary Edinburgh Festival, but the city remains active and vibrant outside of these times. From the magnificent castle sitting atop the many interlocking layers of the old town, to the reinvigorated and culturally progressive new town, Edinburgh is one of the most exciting cities in the world to visit.
