Car Hire Edinburgh

Edinburgh has a majestic blend of museums, castles, and evergreen landscapes. Edinburgh's Old Town encompasses many historic and cultural landmarks including Edinburgh Castle and St. Giles' Cathedral. Edinburgh Castle is home to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, a combination of bands, singers, and pipe and drum players who perform against the beautiful skyline of Scotland's capital during August.

The St. Giles' Cathedral, named after the city's patron saint, offers free admission and guided tours upon request. To view a combination of Scottish heritage as well as innovative, modern architecture, visit the National Museum of Scotland for a guided tour. The National Gallery of Scotland boasts a world-class art space displaying seasonal collections from local artists.
