  • Intriguing tour of Edinburgh’s famous brewery. Great copper vats and (smaller) samples.

  • Amid blazing furnaces, watch molten glass turn into crystal – good place to pick up a bargain.

  • Opened in 1999, opposite the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the gallery houses an art library and collection of works by Paolozzi. It also hosts temporary exhibitions.

  • A walk-through tropical forest with a myriad of free-flying butterflies and friendly crawlies.

  • Just when you thought you liked Edinburgh! The worst of the city’s past: murder, torture, punishment, disease and grave robbing.

  • Historic church, best known for its statue (in the street) of “Greyfriars Bobby” (1858–72), a devoted terrier who lived by his master’s grave.

  • This fine architectural gem, work of the industrious Robert Adam, is both a stately home and an art treasury (paintings by Canaletto, Rubens, Rembrandt, to name but a few).

  • Cruise the city with guided commentary and a pigeon’s eye view.

  • Don your headlamp and join ex-miners on an enlightening underground tour.

  • Look Robert Burns, Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Queen Mother in the eye. Portraits through the ages, housed in a Gothic shrine.
