Holidays in Colinton

Do you look at every travel deal that finds its way into your inbox? Catch yourself jealously stalking travel hashtags? It's time for a getaway and Colinton, a neighbourhood in Edinburgh, is calling your name. The capital of Scotland is home to 440,000 people and a cool place to experience the nation's culture and history. After landing and picking up your bags at Edinburgh Airport, your taxi will need to travel 8 kilometres southeast to arrive in Colinton. From the heart of the city, it's a commute of 6 kilometres to the southwest.

With a good number of the city's best sights close by, Colinton is a dream for sightseers. From Edinburgh Castle to the Royal Yacht Britannia, there's lots to keep visitors like yourself on the move. The gotta-see sights of Arthur's Seat and St. Giles' Cathedral are also on your doorstep. A great way to soak up this city is to roam around a few of its neighbourhoods. So why not swing by nearby Kingsknowe and Juniper Green and explore their unique charms?

If somehow you were unaware of Palace of Holyroodhouse, prepare to be amazed. This well-known attraction is situated just 7 kilometres northeast of Colinton.

If you wouldn't mind browsing a few of the highlights in the city centre, make your way to the University of Edinburgh and Scottish Parliament. To get an even better feel for the area, also drop into the Edinburgh Zoo and the National Museum of Scotland.

Greyfriar's Bobby, Vietnam House Art Gallery and Canongate Tolbooth are perfect for those without kids in tow.

The area's numerous cultural places, such as the National Gallery of Scotland, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the Fruitmarket Gallery and the Talbot Rice Gallery, have to be seen!

There's no saying what you'll uncover among the eclectic collections at the Scotch Whisky Experience, the Museum of Childhood, the National War Museum and Dean Gallery. If you don't want to miss anything, see if you can hop on a guided tour.

There's nothing quite like that feeling of anticipation when a live show is due to start. Wait for the curtains to rise at Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Festival Theatre, the King's Theatre and the Royal Lyceum Theatre.

Is your golf swing too slow? Does your alignment need some work? With exceptional greens like the Braid Hills Golf Course, the Mortonhall Golf Course, the Baberton Golf Club and the Lothianburn Golf Club to play at, improving your score will be par for the course.

Finding places to amuse the kids is a priority when going on a family holiday. Check out the National Library of Scotland and the Dominion Cinema.

You can find a selection of action-packed attractions in the local area. Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, Gambado, Blackford Hill and The Braid Hills will keep the younger ones from getting restless.

Pentland Hills Regional Park, Malleny Garden and Water of Leith Visitor Centre are among the most impressive spots for nature enthusiasts to get out into the fresh air.

Something special about this place is its nearby public parks. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, there are plenty of spots to take a short walk or read a book. Princes Street Gardens and The Meadows are some good options.

A holiday is a great time to splash your cash and pick up a souvenir or two. Make sure you have a walk through The Hub, Gyle Shopping Centre, Princes Mall and Geoffrey Kiltmakers and Weavers!

The surrounding historic places will give you a better understanding of the area's interesting past. Greyfriars Kirk, the Heriot Watt University, the Scott Monument and Real Mary King's Close are certainly not to be missed.

If you're intrigued by religious sites, you shouldn't miss St. Mary's Episcopal Cathederal, St. Stephens Centre, St. Margaret's Chapel and St. Mary's Cathedral.

Feel the icy wind on your face as you ski or snowboard down the hill at Midlothian Snowsports Centre and Midlothian Ski Centre.

No time here is complete without a visit to Murrayfield Stadium, home to the Scotland National Rugby and Edinburgh Rugby. If a match is on while you're in town, slip on your favourite team's colours and get set to cheer your heart out.
