Twice is Nice in Edinburgh
Emily Peterson / Postcards Travel
Available for hire
Scotland is famous for kilts, interesting accents, and spectacular landscapes. I have been to Scotland twice. There is much to see and do, so choose your destinations and make a plan. Edinburgh is a magical place with ancient history and recent artistry. I recommend purchasing one of the hop-on-hop-off tour companies to get around to all the attractions. Reservations are key in this city from the castle to restaurants. Use the local apps to reserve.

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh - Formerly Jurys Inn

This hotel is in a central location, close to the Royal Mile. Nice views of the city and castle. Good breakfast and restaurant. It was a little tricky to find with construction and street closing, so I recommend taking a taxi when arriving.

I love to explore places off the beaten path, creating my own itineraries, and making connections with the locals. I currently live in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I am a true Minnesotan at heart and enjoy being a local tourist in my home state. I am a travel agent, teacher, dog-walker, and notary public!
