Itinerary
Scotland is a wonderful place to enjoy the Holiday Season. Enjoy a virtual tour of Edinburgh’s New Town and see all the festivities. We will start the tour at Princes Street Gardens where most of the main festivities will be taking place. Here we will explore the stalls and see the Christmas gift ideas, food, games and rides. . From here we will also see some of the rides set up including the Big Ferris Wheel and the Star Flyer.
After we then walk down George St and admire the elegant Georgian buildings. Now it is the fashion retail centre of the city as well it has lots of unique restaurants and bars. At the Westend of George street we then go to the Ice Skating Rink to see one of Scotland’s oldest passed time sport.
Lastly we’ll go to Santa Grotto which is a play area set up for Children to meet Santa. Here there are more fun games and amusements for everyone. Get lost in the maze of Christmas Trees. Admire the Ross Fountain that has recently been refurbished. Then see Santa’s Grotto with the amazing views of Edinburgh Castle perched on top of Castlehill.
