What To Do In Edinburgh

If you’re considering moving in the near future, as many people are now doing because of the pandemic and the desire to live somewhere with more outdoor space, Scotland would certainly be a fine choice - and Edinburgh, in particular, is a wonderful place to live.

The city truly is a remarkable one, with the Pentland Hills and Arthur’s Seat serving as an incredibly beautiful backdrop. One minute you could be strolling the city streets and admiring the buildings, and the next be out exploring the countryside and getting a great view from the top of the Seat, an ancient volcano and the highest point in Holyrood Park.

You also have Edinburgh Castle right on your doorstep, Scotland’s number one visitor attraction. You’ll also get some incredible views of the city from here, as well, and find some of its most important buildings, including the Half Moon Battery, the National War Memorial and St Margaret’s Chapel.

You can even go below ground and discover the subterranean side of Edinburgh, visiting the Blair Street Underground Vaults. Here, you’ll find an intriguing network of chambers, originally used by cobblers, smelters and merchants trying to find somewhere to store excess goods.

The businesses soon moved out on account of frequent flooding events and soon they were home to all sorts of less reputable characters - everything from gambling pubs to brothels soon opened.

Of course, this is just a very tiny snapshot into life in Edinburgh and you’ll find there’s a huge amount to see and do in this wonderful city. If you’re thinking of moving here and want to talk to an Edinburgh property valuation service, get in touch with Kingdom Letting today.
