Holidays in Gorgie

Do you pore over every travel deal that finds its way into your inbox? Find yourself frequently stalking travel hashtags? It's time for an escape and Gorgie, a neighbourhood in Edinburgh, is calling your name. One of the best bits of travelling is the people you meet along the way. And with 440,000 locals calling the capital of Scotland home, there's ample opportunity to meet new BFFs. To reach Gorgie from Edinburgh Airport, grab a taxi, stash your suitcase in the boot and travel 8 kilometres to the east. If you're coming from central Edinburgh, you'll need to go 3 kilometres southwest.

Gorgie is a magnet for sightseers. A lot of the city's best attractions are scattered near this fascinating neighbourhood, including Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Yacht Britannia. You should also make sure to visit Arthur's Seat and St. Giles' Cathedral. While you're in town, think about exploring other neighbourhoods to appreciate more of what Edinburgh offers. Merchiston and Dalry are some attractive areas that aren't too far away.

One of the best reasons to stay in Gorgie is that Palace of Holyroodhouse is located just 4 kilometres to the northeast. This world-renowned attraction has to be seen to be believed.

The centre of the city also boasts an assortment of sights to lay your eyes upon, such as the University of Edinburgh and Scottish Parliament. The Edinburgh Zoo and the National Museum of Scotland are a couple more of the area's biggest draws.

Worn out after a long and tiring day? Set aside some time to relax at Greyfriar's Bobby, Vietnam House Art Gallery and Canongate Tolbooth!

Make your way to a few cultural places to find the real essence of the region. The National Gallery of Scotland, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the Fruitmarket Gallery and the Talbot Rice Gallery are highly recommended.

From interactive exhibits to imagination‐sparking objects and artefacts, museums have something to keep all ages interested. If the weather turns nasty, why not make your way over to the Our Dynamic Earth, the Scotch Whisky Experience, the Museum of Childhood and the National War Museum?

What better way to end a day's activities than with dinner and some entertainment? Check the programme listings at the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre, Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Festival Theatre and the King's Theatre.

The fairways of the Braid Hills Golf Course, the Bruntsfield Links Golf Course, the Royal Burgess Golf Course and the Mortonhall Golf Course are calling your name. Hone your swing, play a friendly round with the locals and try to drop some strokes off your game.

Finding places to amuse the kids can be a vital task when going on a family holiday. Look out for the National Library of Scotland, Omni Centre Edinburgh and the Dominion Cinema.

Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, Gambado, Blackford Hill and The Braid Hills are excellent places to take the kids for a fun-filled day of adventure.

Few things can calm a frantic mind quite like the sights, sounds and smells of the natural world. Get a taste of it at Calton Hill, Holyrood Park, Water of Leith Visitor Centre and the Dunbar’s Close Garden.

Prepare a picnic spread and invite a few friends down for a chat in one of the vibrant urban parks nearby. Choose from Princes Street Gardens, The Meadows and Leith Links.

Sometimes the easiest way to meet the locals is by walking around the shops. Remember to call in to The Hub, Gyle Shopping Centre, Princes Mall and Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre.

Learn lessons from the past at one or two of the area's time-weathered sites, such as Greyfriars Kirk, the Heriot Watt University, the Scott Monument and Real Mary King's Close.

Whether you're religious or not, it's worth going to St. Mary's Episcopal Cathederal, St. Stephens Centre, Robin Chapel and St. Margaret's Chapel.

If you're mad about messing around in the snow, head over to Midlothian Snowsports Centre and Midlothian Ski Centre. It's going to be icy cold, so make sure you're equipped with plenty of woolly scarves and socks!

No holiday here is complete without attending a game at Murrayfield Stadium, the home of the Scotland National Rugby and Edinburgh Rugby. If a match is on while you're in town, dress up in your team's colours and get set to cheer as loud as you can.
