Edinburgh, Scotland Group Vacation

Lush green hills and beautiful old architecture await you in Edinburgh, Scotland.  The city is a quaint blend of old and new.  
The Old Town district is home to the majority of famous sites, running along the Royal Mile from the Castle to Holyrood Palace, summer home of the Queen.  The Edinburgh Castle looms high upon a granite hill, looking down upon the blend of Georgian, medieval, and modern architecture lining the cobblestone ways below.  Make sure to plan at least 2 hours for your visit to Edinburgh Castle; the home to the Crown Jewels has many national museums within its walls.  And for amazing views from the other side of the Royal Mile, take the path in Holyrood Park to Arthur’s Seat, an 832 ft. hill with astounding views of the city and the Firth of Forth.  The climb up is not very difficult, and well worth the view.                  
New Town is full of designer boutiques, quaint cafés, and pubs.  Most pubs and restaurants are named after famous Scots, especially those from Edinburgh, and their associates. (The most often referenced are literary greats; famous writers to come out of Edinburgh include Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as the more recently acclaimed J,K. Rowling.)  The town is steeped in folklore; make sure to take more than 1 guided tour to learn as much as you can about the rich history.  Tripology travel agents can help you book group tours of the city.
    A great time to travel to Edinburgh is during the Fringe and International Festivals, held every August.  Expect the city to fill up well in advance, as the population doubles for the month of programs from 500,000 to over 1 million.  Tripology can help you plan your trip to Edinburgh today.  All you need to do is fill out the free trip request form, and we will return you 3 travel itineraries within the day.
