Five Reasons I Love Visiting Edinburgh Scotland

Let me give some context for this blog post and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JYh6rvUWSE" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">YouTube video</a>. My wife, Kim, and I recently spent a long weekend in Edinburgh Scotland. This capital city is a popular weekend destination, especially for those who live in Europe. I’m here to tell you it is also doable from the States. We flew directly from Dulles International Airport (located in Northern Virginia where we live) to Edinburgh Airport. For lodging, we stayed on the Royal Mile. If you’ve never been to this city before I recommend you stay either on or near the Royal Mile. Our plan included three full days on the ground. We flew out on a Thursday night and back on a Monday. Also, we pre-booked four tours for this trip including a tour of the castle, the Oldtown, a ghost tour, and a food tour. We prefer private tours. I highly recommend you book private if your budget allows. It is a much better experience than with a large group. <a href="https://dougkeating.medium.com/five-reasons-i-love-visiting-edinburgh-scotland-447759e28b20">Website</a>
