Three days in Edinburgh
Castle to coast: a measured route through Scotland's capital.
Edinburgh is two cities in one — the medieval Old Town crowding the Royal Mile and the Georgian New Town's Enlightenment grid. UNESCO inscribed both as a single World Heritage Site. Three days is enough to walk Castle to Holyrood, climb Arthur's Seat, take the train to Leith, and visit the National Museum without rushing.
