Edinburgh Bus Station

The station has recently been redone and upgraded to a more modern facility. Coach operators are now migrating back to St. Andrew's station which has once again become the hub of bus travel in Edinburgh -- many coaches previously ran from Waterloo Place.

St. Andrew's bus station is fairly small but clean. There is a newsagent and a place where you can buy bakery products and coffees to go.

The central area of the bus station houses ticket offices where you can also pick up timetable leaflets and make inquiries. Each ticket office sells tickets for certain coach operators -- which is clearly displayed at every office -- and will rarely sell tickets or answer enquiries for other operators.

The two clearly displayed departures and arrivals screens are also located in the central area of the station. Each service is indicated on the screen along with the departure bay and other information. Each coach bay has its own waiting seats which is handy.

Lockers are also available in the station.


Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle is arguably the centre of Scotland's royal history. Regularly sacked and burned by invaders, the current Castle represents several different rebuildings over the years. The Castle first appears in recorded history after the death of Queen, later Saint, Margaret, the wife of Malcolm Canmore, in 1093. The oldest remaining part is named after her - St Margaret's Chapel dates back to the 12th century. The Great Hall was built under James IV around 1510, while the Half Moon Battery was added by Regent Morton later that century. The Scottish National War Museum was added after the end of World War I. National treasures such as the Honours of Scotland (the Crown Jewels), the Stone of Destiny, upon which kings of Scotland were traditionally crowned and the 15th century gun Mons Meg are also here. The One O'clock Gun fires from the Castle ramparts every day, which was once a signal to the ships in port at Leith. There are guided tours as well as audio tours in various languages

The site of the current Edinburgh Festival Theatre was extended to create the largest stage of any presenting house in Britain at the time, reopening in June 1994. The auditorium has a capacity of 1915 seats and is a wonderful restoration of the Empire Theatre's former 1928 glory. The style of the theatre has a dramatic mix of art nouveau, beaux arts and neo-classicism, encompassing perfect acoustics within a parlour-like intimacy.


Greyfriars Church

Greyfriars Kirk has held an important place in Scotland's history, with regard to the National Covenant in particular. Many of the Covenanters are believed buried in the Kirkyard, while the Covenanters' Prison and the Martyrs' Monument are preserved here. Greyfriars' other famous resident, the canine hero Greyfriars Bobby, is also believed to be buried some 50 yards from his master, John Gray. A statue of the loyal dog can be seen at the top of Candlemaker Row, opposite the entrance to the Kirkyard. The Church has a Visitor display with an exhibit of the National Covenant, portraits, and an account of the Kirk's 400-year history.

Playhouse Theatre

The Edinburgh Playhouse has had a colourful history. Designed by Glasgow architect, John Fairweather as a variety theatre, it was largely modelled on the Roxy Theatre in New York, but caught up in the new craze sweeping the country, it opened as a cinema on August 12th 1929 with the ‘talkie’ The Doctor’s Secret. Owned by the MacGuire family, it remained a cinema for 40 years until it fell victim to the cinema slump in 1973.

Tender for demolition were invited by advertisement, and a ‘Save the Playhouse’ group was set up, who collected 15,000 signatures against the closure. In 1974 the Playhouse was given listed building status. Then, in 1975 the ‘Edinburgh Playhouse Society’ was formed, a second petition brought a further 13,500 signatures, helping tremendously in saving the building that stands here today.

Over the next 12 years the theatre changed hands 5 times! Until Apollo Leisure took over ownership in December 1985. In 1993 a major refurbishment was undertaken, and The Edinburgh Playhouse was returned to its former glory, soon becoming one of the most successful theatres in Britain.

The park serves as a backdrop for a variety of special events taking place throughout the year:

The bathrooms are clean and every looks hygienic.

Although their are problems, the site for one is situated in a park with a bingo hall and that is it, everything else has closed down due to lack of business. Also the teenagers and school kids provide some jaunts and just make the place look really untidy but their is never any trouble thanks to the big bouncers that stand at the door, although it makes you wonder why they need bouncers.

A further addition in 1887, during Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee year, expanded the complex and provided further art galleries and exhibition space.

Verdant Works

Verdant Works is so called because when it was built for merchant and flax spinner David Lindsay in 1833 the area was surrounded by green fields. The ready availability of water (the Scouring Burn) made it a perfect location for a mill.

In 1864 the Works ran three steam engines driving 70 power looms and 2,800 spindles. 500 people were employed, making Verdant the 16th biggest employer in the Dundee jute industry of the time.

In 1991 Dundee Heritage Trust purchased Verdant Works as a derelict site. Restoring 25,000 square feet of jute mill was a labour of love that took six years in all. Thankfully many of the original features remained, including, hidden under the floor, a lade, or stone channel used to divert water from the Scouring Burn to power the mill. As far as possible historic materials and techniques were used to restore the building, which officially opened as a museum in September 1996.

We aim to produce the most computer- literate graduates in Scotland equipped with the transferable skills needed for the job market in the 21st century.

This magnificent Baroque Palace has been intricately linked with Scotland's monarchy throughout the ages, but is perhaps best known as the home of Mary, Queen of Scots and for being a temporary base for Bonnie Prince Charlie during the Jacobite Uprising. Originally founded as Holyrood Abbey by David I in 1128, the palace has seen much damage, notably by Hertford in 1544 at Henry VIII's bequest and by Cromwell's soldiers. Today, the Palace is the official residence of The Queen in Scotland and is used for receptions and state ceremonies. Tours of the building take in the State Apartments with their renowned plasterwork ceilings and ornate furnishings, the Great Gallery, which houses most of Jacob de Wet's portraits of the kings of Scotland and Mary, Queen of Scots' bedchamber. Many great works of art are spread throughout the Palace.

Dalkeith Country Park

The estate evolved around Dalkeith
House which was built around 1700,
as a large pleasure garden. It never
stops changing.

The formality of manicured lawns and
hedges has been softened by natures
hand over the years and has produced
this unique semi-natural woodland
which is the home to deer, foxes and
a myriad of smaller birds, animals
and insects.

The woodland although planted and
managed as a commercial crop still
maintains a feeling of wildwood
and romance.


Rosslyn Chapel

Rosslyn Chapel is a bit of a mystery. A medieval church, built in 1446 by William St Clair, the last Prince of Orkney, the chapel does not conform to any contemporary architecture or fashion. It is full of intricate decorations, many of which portray Biblical scenes, the most famous being the 'Apprentice Pillar'. There are also many references to the Knights Templar, Freemasonry, and Pagan symbols; including the largest number of 'Green Men' found in any medieval building. The real curiosity though, is the existence of carvings depicting plants brought to this country from the 'New World', which pre-date Columbus' discovery of the Americas by 100 years. Recently it has been the focus of much attention from Holy Grail hunters, after featuring in the book, The Da Vinci Code.

St Andrew's Cathedral

The first new cathedral in Britain to be completed after the Reformation in 1869, St Andrew's Cathedral is a notable landmark on the Inverness skyline. Originally intended to be built with two spires atop the towers, this plan was never carried out. The Gothic Revivalist cathedral is well worth investigating and is still in use as an Episcopalian church, with regular Sunday services.

Services celebrated Mon-Fri 7.30am & 6pm; Sat & Sun 5.30pm; Eucharist Mon & Wed 12.30pm; Tue 6.15pm; Thu 10.15am; Fri 8am; Sun main service 10.30am


Caledonian Canal – Muirtown basin

The mountain scenery of the Scottish Highlands may be a surprising setting for a canal, but the Great Glen - through which the Caledonian Canal runs almost directly from South West to North East - has for centuries been the region's natural line of communication.

Stretching from Fort William to Inverness, the Caledonian Canal is 60 miles long. 22 miles are man-made: the rest are natural lochs, namely Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, the famous Loch Ness and Loch Dochfour.

Widely considered a masterpiece of canal engineering, the Caledonian is on a scale incomparable with almost anything else in Britain. It has survived in part due to its continuing importance in the Highland economy, and partly because it is quite simply spectacular.


Inverness Castle

Inverness Castle was originally a late 11th century earth and timber enclosure fortress, founded by King Malcolm III Canmore. The castle which was destroyed by King Robert the Bruce, was rebuilt in stone by George Gordon, earl of Huntly in 1548. After the garrison surrendered to the Jacobite army in 1746, the castle was destroyed by mines and all that remains are part of the curtain wall and a resorted well. A dramatic 19th century neo-Norman castle now stands on the site, built to house the County Hall.

Church of the Holy Rude

Begun in the early 15th century and still with its original oak roof beams, this is one of Scotland's finest medieval parish churches.

The Reformation was far more extreme in Scotland, the destruction of medieval buildings more thorough. The Calvinists not only rejected ornaments in places of worship, but the churches themselves. The Holy Rude is one of the few medieval parish churches to escaped destruction, losing its ornamentation, but the basic fabric of the church survived intact.

John Cowane's House

John Cowane was a very wealthy Stirling merchant and Dean of the Merchant Guild who left funds for this alms house and the maintenance of 13 elderly Guild members. Originally known as Cowane's Hospital, it was built beside the church between 1637 and 1649. It was not popular with the residents due to very strict house rules.
For many years the building was used as the Guildhall where the Merchants gathered for meetings and dinners. The Guildry fixed the prices of goods, and dominated town council affairs.
Later the building was used as a schoolhouse and a hospital during epidemics. In today's times it is once again being used for concerts, meetings and ceilidhs, but the statue of John Cowane above the entrance and the portraits of Guild Deans inside remind us of its history.

Old Town Jail

Old Town Jail stands at the heart of the city's historic quarter. If the outside was forbidding and grim - then it didn't get any better inside.

The Victorian reformers practised what they preached - which wasn't exactly comforting for the poor inmates. 'Coarse food; a dress of shame; hard, incessant, irksome labour; a planned and regulated and unrelenting exclusion of happiness and comfort' was their prescription for the unfortunate souls detained within these walls.

Nowadays The Old Town Jail is an intriguing attraction for visitors to Stirling - and the perfect starting point for exploring the oldest part of the city.
