Edinburgh Castle

Standing proudly above the Old Town, Edinburgh Castle is chock-full of exciting history and artefacts that will keep the family entertained for hours. Discover the oldest building in Edinburgh, St Margaret’s Chapel, which survived demolition under the rule of King Robert the Bruce. Visit the cavernous stone vaults that held prisoners of war, including a five year-old boy captured in the Battle of Trafalgar. Or stare down the barrel of Mons Meg, a medieval supergun capable of firing 150kg cannonballs at enemies more than three miles away! With a legacy spanning hundreds of years, this is one castle you definitely haven’t experienced before now and it’s well worth a visit no matter what time of year it is. Even if you don’t venture inside, take the opportunity to observe the stunning views of Edinburgh down below the crag.

Museum of Childhood

Just because museums are educational it doesn’t mean they can’t be fun, and how can anyone resist the Museum of Childhood which is dedicated to the toys and games of our past?

It seems a little sad that most international visitors will make tracks to London and not venture beyond this great capital. There are so many other locations in Britain which are well worth a visit, from ancient monuments that are shrouded in mystery to thriving cities which are home to large numbers of fascinating attractions. Here are three places that are worth a second look, so be sure to rent a car and hit the road during your stay.

Stonehenge

What better place to soak up some of the mysticism of ancient Britain than this stunning monument? It’s located in Wiltshire, a beautiful county that lies to the west of London, and it attracts large numbers of visitors throughout the year, but especially during the summer months. Doubt still surrounds the actual meaning of Stonehenge to this day, although there are plenty of opinions on the subject. Even how it was built is something of a mystery.

Stonehenge, England, UK by Rupert Jones

Chester Zoo

The north-west of England is an area that doesn’t always feature on visitor itineraries, but it should. Chester Zoo is close to the border with Wales, and it’s a fascinating attraction that has remained something of a hidden gem to overseas tourists. In the UK it’s certainly not a secret, however; it attracts more visitors every year than the famous London Zoo at Regents Park. Be sure to set aside a whole day for Chester, because there is so much to see and do.

Chester Zoo, England, UK by Nigel Swales

Edinburgh Castle

The city of Edinburgh is the iconic and beautiful capital of Scotland, and it’s home to a large number of superb attractions and landmarks. Towering over them, both physically and metaphorically, is the city’s wonderful castle. It’s located at the top of the Royal Mile, and visitors can enjoy some spectacular views of the whole city from the walls. Be sure to bring a camera with you, because you’ll want to take dozens of images when you get to the summit.

Old Town

Many of the buildings of the Old Town date back to the 1500s and surround some of Edinburgh’s most important landmarks. As with most cities it grew around the castle which sits on the rocky crag of an extinct volcano at the top of the Royal Mile.

Edinburgh Old Town, Scotland, UK by Ian Cooper

If you look at the layout of the streets, you will see similarities to the old quarters of other European cities, with claustrophobic alleyways (known as a close) and streets weaving between the buildings. Because of the space restrictions caused by the lay of the land, Edinburgh’s Old Town has some of the earliest examples of high rises, some of which reaching 15 storeys.

As you wander this part of the city, because it’s built on such a steep hill, streets that run parallel, and only yards apart will be at different levels and connected by steep narrow stair cases and closes.

When you look at the old town and wander the narrow streets you can see where JK Rowling drew much of her inspiration.

New Town

By the 18th century overcrowding in the Old town became more of a problem so in 1766 a competition was run to find a winning design. Local architect James Craig won with a logical grid design which was more common in Glasgow over on the west coast.

The New Town was a huge success and was quickly expanded, but the grid design was abandoned for one that was more picturesque like the Old Town.

It’s an interesting point of curiosity among residents that the area called New Town was planned only 102 after the official seal naming New York city.

Edinburgh Castle

There is archaeological evidence that suggests there were human settlements here around 900BC and as a fortified position there are historical references to Din Eidyn – fortress on the rock – dating back to 600AD. It has been the site of some of the most important conflicts in British history.

Edinburgh fontain and castle, Scotland, UK by Paul Boxley

It was captured in 1296 by Edward I of England, then retaken by one of Robert the Bruce’s generals in 1314, the year of the Scottish victory over the English at Bannockburn near Stirling. After the overthrow and execution of Charles I in 1650, Oliver Cromwell invaded and once again Edinburgh Castle was captured and the Crown, Sword, and Sceptre of Scottish royalty were quickly taken away an buried to protect them from Cromwell.

At the foot of the Royal Mile is the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official residence of the monarchy.

It’s a city that’s full of mystery and creepy alleys, and there’s even a haunted hotel in Edinburgh, as well as the eerie Mary King’s Close beneath the Royal Mile.

Edinburgh is a wonderful city full of amazing history, architecture and one or two ghosts of revolution.

Now it would be easy to say for families it is a great idea to come in August when the Festival is on as this has enough entertainment and attractions for the whole country, but you may not be able to come then so instead, here are 6 great attractions that you can visit all year round.

Dynamic Earth

It may look a bit like a beetle of some kind or perhaps like a wonky copy of the O2 Arena in London but this exhibition centre nestled between the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood Palace and Arthur’s Seat, is a great place for a family day out. Dynamic Earth’s main feature is an exhibition on planetary evolution but with tons of other shows and events all year round there is always something new to see.

Edinburgh Castle

While very young kids may or may not appreciate the old walls and suits of armour, if you know your kids will get a thrill from visiting one of the most historic sites in the UK then you have to walk up the cobbled streets to the castle gates. Check out the cannons, the crown jewels and the amazing rooms filled with weapons.

Edinburgh Castle, Scotland, UK by Kevin Gibbons

Edinburgh Zoo

Only 10 minutes west of the centre of town Edinburgh Zoo is as family friendly as attractions come. You can teach your child about all kinds of species and enjoy seeing lions and giraffes and even giant pandas at the same time. Who doesn’t love the zoo?

Scottish Seabird Centre

It may be 30 minutes east of Edinburgh on the train but North Berwick is a beautiful town and home to one of the best Seabird attractions on the planet. You can expect great staff and fun and interesting stuff to do too.

Deep Sea World

Hop across the Firth of Forth and plunge into the brilliant world of the sea. This award-winning centre is home to hundreds of species of all manner of sea creatures and even has an underwater walkway that your kids will love.

Edinburgh Butterfly World

Yes it really is a world full of butterflies and only 20 minutes south of the city. You and your kids can walk into their habitat and see and feel them flying all around you. Then you can go through and see the centres amazing collection of weird and wonderful insects and bugs. They may be a bit gross for some but are always fascinating for children.

Edinburgh Butterfly World, Scotland, UK by Silversyrpher

Best thing about all these attractions is that they offer family discounts or cheap tickets for kids.

Anyway, here goes…

Bamburgh Castle by James West

Bamburgh Castle, Northumbria

Britain is home to a number of famous castles, but few can claim to be quite as impressive as Bamburgh Castle in the north-east of England. This giant building is one of the largest inhabited castles in the country and takes pride of place of the Northumbrian coastline. Bamburgh Castle was once home to the kings of Northumbria and is still a place of fascination to historians and archaeologists who can often be seen digging for artefacts and anything else that provides information on the long history of the castle. This historical landmark should be visited by everyone.

Fishing Cove, Cornwall

Fishing Cove is a secluded a beach as you will ever find – this despite being several hundred metres from a car park! The small beach is a place loved as much by seals as it is by skinny-dippers and naturists and is the perfect place to enjoy a sunny summer afternoon. Fishing Cove, would not doubt be one of the most popular places in Cornwall, were it not for access. The pathway down to the beach is steep and can be slippery but well worth tackling to experience the golden sand.

Dunster Castle, Somerset by Chilli Head

Dunster Castle, Somerset

Dunster Castle is much like something out of a fairytale with turrets and towers aplenty overlooking beautiful Exmoor. The castle itself is made all the more picturesque by the medieval town that surrounds it and the National Collection of strawberry trees that must be seen (but not eaten). Regular events are held at the castle and you can choose to take a tour around the grounds and inside the vast building itself, tracing more than 1,000 years of history in the process.

The Temple, London

London is home to the majority of Britain’s most famous attractions, but many hidden gems also populate the city streets; one such attraction being the Temple, a building which is hidden in plain sight between Fleet Street and the Embankment. Both an ancient church and a base for members of London’s legal profession, the building was named after the Knights Templar. The Temple is eerie as it is wonderful.

Bath

As the site of one of the most famous baths in Roman Britain, the same springs are still in use today. Locals get a big discount on the modern iteration of the city spa, but the Thermae Bath Spa is still open to visitors wanting to experience Bath’s purportedly healing waters. As a hub of social activity during the Regency Period, Bath was also the setting for a number of Jane Austen’s novels. Fans of her novels can visit the Jane Austen Centre to learn more about the city during this period.

York

This northern city got its start as a Roman town known as Eboracum, and then Viking settlement known as Jorvik. Every year, York holds a Viking Festival celebrating its past, which a definite must-see for families. During the Victorian period, the city was also important for the industry of the North, which can still be seen in its National Railway Museum. In particular, the city was known for confectionary with the Rowntree Mackintosh and Terry’s factories.

Edinburgh

Scotland’s old capital city has plenty of historic sites to satisfy even the most picky of its visitors. Discerning travellers will appreciate the five star hotels within a stone’s throw of all the must-see locations in the closely-places old and new towns. As a centre of the Scottish Enlightenment, Edinburgh was also an important city for scientific learning during the Georgian period. Nowadays, you can see some of this past in the Surgeon’s Museum, where examples of the anatomical teaching equipment of past centuries are kept, as well as on the University of Edinburgh campus itself.

Edinburgh castle / Edinburgh Castle Entrance

Oxford

It may mainly be on the map for its esteemed university (incidentally, the oldest university in the English speaking world), but Oxford is also a city with a lot of history, with buildings representing every architectural style in England since the Saxons. It’s not surprising that the Christ Church College hall was rumoured to be an inspiration for Hogwart’s Hall in the Harry Potter series. Like Edinburgh, a number of Oxford’s hotels are also well-placed for exploring historical sites. The Macdonald Randolph Hotel, for instance, is right across the street from Britain’s first public museum. In addition to the cities, the UK also has a fantastic array of country houses and historic properties to explore. When planning your vacation, be sure to pencil in some time to tour around the surrounding areas.

1. Arthur’s Seat/ Holyrood Park

Arthur’s Seat, the extinct volcano, is one of the defining features of the Edinburgh skyline. It is in Holyrood Park which lies close to the city centre and is one of Europe’s largest urban green spaces, containing an array of hills, lochs, glens and ridges. Lying about a mile east of Edinburgh Castle, it’s the highest point in the city and provides panoramic views over the spectacular skyline. It’s a popular walking spot among tourists and locals. Don’t be put off by its height: it’s not too steep so it’s relatively easy to climb.

2. Gilmerton Cove

Hidden beneath the streets of south Edinburgh, Gillmerton Cove is a series of underground tunnels and chambers. Guided tours of the cove are popular; a guide will take a small group down for around forty-five minutes to one hour and will explain the history and myths surrounding the cove. Entrance is £5 per adult. The attraction is very popular so it’s advisable to book in advance.

3. Royal Botanical Garden

Located 1.5 miles north of Princes Street (one of Edinburgh’s main shopping streets) is the Royal Botanical Garden. The garden spans 31 hectares and is a family favourite, with plenty of benches dotted around for picnics. If you don’t fancy making your own sandwiches fear not, because the garden also features an on-site café and restaurant which provides food, and shelter for when the weather isn’t as good. Entrance to the site is free; there’s a charge to enter the specialist greenhouses but according to reviews, seeing them is worth the extra cost.

After a long day of outdoor activities why not consider staying in one of the serviced apartments Edinburgh has to offer?

The post Edinburgh’s top 3 outdoor attractions | United Kingdom appeared first on Best of European Union.

1. Edinburgh Castle

Alternatively used as a castle, fortress, and seat of government, Edinburgh Castle has dominated the city since it was first built in the 12th century. It sits at Castle Rock, a formation of volcanic rock that juts up into the sky.

The oldest surviving structure in it is St. Margaret’s Chapel. This Romanesque church was built by King David I in 1124. The Great Hall was finished in 1511 and has held such national events as the coronation dinner for King Charles I in 1633.

If you’re interested to view the Crown Jewels of Scotland, you can see them in the Crown Room. Built in 1617, the room holds the royal sceptre given to King James IV in 1494 and a sword presented by the Pope in 1508.

2. Palace of Holyroodhouse

At the opposite end of the Royal Mile from Edinburgh Castle stands the Palace of Holyroodhouse. This palace is the official home of the British monarch when in residence. Its abbey, dating from the early 12th century, was also built by King David I. Cloisters and royal chambers were added throughout the 13th century. From them, Scottish kings continued to add buildings and fortifications to the palace. A fire destroyed much of its eastern edge in 1650. However, under King Charles II, the palace underwent a restoration and expansion. The palace that exists today is much as it was when these plans were completed in 1679.

You can visit the historic apartments of Mary, Queen of Scots, who lived at the palace after her return from France in 1561. Her Bedchamber is in the west corner tower. You can also visit the Outer Chamber, where her husband murdered her secretary.

For the heartier among you, you could climb up Arthur’s Seat, just near the palace, and visit the original abbey. A fragment of the Holy Cross which is the abbey and palace’s namesake is on view here, having arrived in the 14th century.

3. Royal Botanic Garden

These 70 acres of gardens were originally founded in the 17th century as grounds for medicinal studies. There are still sites for research and education throughout the gardens. More than 10,000 botanic specimens were introduced to the gardens in the 20th century. The Royal Botanic Garden also hosts cultural events and has numerous spots for relaxing walks or picnics.

4. John Knox House

Named for the father of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland, it’s not confirmed that John Knox ever lived in this 15th century home. Even so, the house is considered a well-preserved example of the quality craftsmanship of the time.

The house has been incorporated into the Scottish Storytelling Centre, a complex of culturally important buildings that preserve and promote the historic Scottish art of storytelling.

History & Tradition

According to legend, an army of Norsemen under King Haakon of Norway landed at the coast of Largs intent on conquering the Scots. They moved inland under the cover of darkness, and to be all the more stealthy removed their boots to remain silent in the night. As they drew near to the slumbering camp of the Scots one of the Norsemen stepped on a prickly purple thistle and shrieked out in pain, awakening the clansmen to the danger of the advancing enemy. The Scots won the day and the lowly purple thistle was adopted as the Emblem of Scotland during the reign of King Alexander III (1249-1286).

The history of Scotland is filled with such incredible legends. These are stories of heroes and heroines filled with romance, thrills, mysteries and tragedies. These are stories of famous warriors and famous battles both won and lost that echo down the centuries from ancient bygone times. These are stories filled with the triumph of the Scottish spirit. To visit Scotland is to be immersed in these stories, and everywhere one might visit has a tale to tell. There are hundreds of historic sites to visit across the length of Scotland, from the Orkney Isles in the far north where the neolithic village of Skara Brae has been standing since before the pyramids of Egypt were built, to the castles, cairns and standing stones of Dumfries and Galloway in the southwest. A few of the most popular historic sites to visit in Scotland include:

• Edinburgh Castle – the seat of Kings and the scene of some of the bloodiest events in Scotland’s long history.
• Scone Palace – the ancient seat of the Pictish Kings.
• Bannockburn Heritage Centre – site of Robert the Bruce’s 1314 victory over Edward II that secured Scottish independence for 400 years.
• Wallace National Monument – built in the 1830s to commemorate Scotland’s National hero, the museum there houses the mighty sword of William Wallace.
• Culloden – Blar Chuil Lodai was the site of the last pitched battle ever fought on British soil on April 16, 1746, when the Jacobite cause of Bonnie Prince Charlie died under the English guns on Culloden Moor, an event that roils the hearts of Scotsmen to this very day.
