Edinburgh is one of those places you must go to 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, take for example Rose Street or The Grassmarket.

There aren't many cities 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.
