Holidays in Morningside

Leave your job, buy a ticket, get a tan, fall in love, never return. You don't need to do all those things, but one you should do is lock in that ticket to Morningside. One of the many neighbourhoods of Edinburgh, it's a great base for exploring everything this city has to offer. Love meeting the locals? With around 440,000 people living in the capital of Scotland, you'll have plenty of opportunities. After landing and picking up your bags at Edinburgh Airport, your taxi will travel 10 kilometres east to arrive in Morningside. From the city centre, it's a commute of 3 kilometres to the south.

Morningside is heaven on earth for sightseers. A lot of the city's attractions are dotted near this fascinating neighbourhood, including Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Yacht Britannia. You should also be sure to experience Arthur's Seat and St. Giles' Cathedral. For a different perspective on Edinburgh, set off to Merchiston and Marchmont, nearby neighbourhoods just waiting to be explored.

Of course, among the first stops to make is Palace of Holyroodhouse. This landmark is situated just 4 kilometres northeast of Morningside.

Curious about things to do in the centre of the city? Feast your eyes on the University of Edinburgh and Scottish Parliament. To get an even better feel for your surrounds, 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 any kids in tow.

Keen to get a taste of the local culture? Head to the National Gallery of Scotland, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the Fruitmarket Gallery and the Talbot Rice Gallery.

Ask about special events before making your way over to study the displays at the Our Dynamic Earth, the Scotch Whisky Experience, the Museum of Childhood and the National War Museum.

The mark of a great show tends to be how powerful the applause is when the curtains go down. Watch the audience rise to their feet at the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre, Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Festival Theatre and the King's Theatre.

Do you know your eagle from your condor and your wood from your wedge? Whether you're a seasoned pro or a novice, golf is a game for everybody! You can tee off around here at the Braid Hills Golf Course, the Bruntsfield Links Golf Course, the Mortonhall Golf Course and the Baberton Golf Club.

Children are often delightful travel buddies, particularly if you go to the right places! For an exciting family day out, head to the National Library of Scotland, Omni Centre Edinburgh and the Dominion Cinema.

If you're travelling with children, they'll love a visit to one of the nearby fun-filled attractions. Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, Gambado, Blackford Hill and The Braid Hills are the perfect places for them to burn off a bit of steam.

If you're a lover of nature, stop in at Calton Hill, Holyrood Park, Pentland Hills Regional Park and Gilmerton Cove.

Something special about this suburb is its nearby green spaces. Among the hustle and bustle, you'll find plenty of places to take a short walk or read a book. Princes Street Gardens, The Meadows and Leith Links are great options.

An excellent way to remember your holiday is by going home with a couple of mementos. See what takes your fancy at The Hub, Gyle Shopping Centre, Princes Mall and Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre.

Go for a hands-on history lesson at Greyfriars Kirk, the Scott Monument, Real Mary King's Close and Gladstone's Land. Reading about them in a book simply can't compare!

St. Mary's Episcopal Cathederal, St. Stephens Centre, Robin Chapel and St. Margaret's Chapel offer sightseers a chance to better understand the region's spiritual side.

Whip out your skis or your snowboard and shred down the slopes at Midlothian Snowsports Centre and Midlothian Ski Centre.

No time here is complete without catching a game at Murrayfield Stadium, the home ground of the Scotland National Rugby and Edinburgh Rugby. If your visit coincides with a match, slip into your favourite team's colours and get ready to heartily cheer them on.
