Edinburgh is one of those places that you must visit in your lifetime. Whether it's a Hogmanay celebration, one of the many festivals this fine city hosts or your last night of freedom, you are guaranteed a superb time. The city oozes character from the stunning castle that sits proudly looking over the city, to the countless pockets of bars, clubs and restaurants in areas such as Rose Street or the Grassmarket.

Also, there aren't many cities where you can go natural white water rafting, canyoning, off road driving and cliff jumping within driving distance of the centre.

In fact the area boasts some of the most diverse range of outdoor activities in the country which makes Edinburgh the perfect destination for a real full-on weekend in every respect.
