Our local Blue Badge guides will be on hand during the day, together with an array of transportation to support your choice of activities. Whether you would like to visit Stirling Castle, the Edinburgh Botanical Gardens or simply wish to shop along George Street or sightsee around this beautiful city – the choices are endless!
We will provide you with an information sheet filled with ideas and suggestions of how to spend your time, or you may choose to simply relax in your room at the hotel or enjoy a treatment at one of our chosen high quality, hair and beauty salons.
