Such a wonderful scenic route in the heart of Edinburgh! ☀️
I always love visiting this area whenever I'm in Edinburgh. Some beautiful monuments, nature and right next to the city centre & Waverley station. Looks wonderful in the summer. Plenty of seats & fairly clean too. Great view of the historic architecture here too!🌱

The gardens are glorious. In mid March, the new trees were beginning to blossom and the gardeners had completed a few colorful beds. Other gardeners busy tidying up and repairing winters aftermath. Find a spot on one of the commemorative benches with a cup of coffee and watch tourists and locals stroll past. If you are lucky, there will be a piper busking nearby. Decidedly, one of my favorite locations in Edinburgh.
One of my favourite easily accessible outdoor places. Any season, any weather. People-watching, having a coffee or a sandwich, or a short stroll - a wonderful view of the castle and the old town skyline. A nice breakaway spot from the noise and traffic.
Beautiful and simply stunning. The views from the gardens of the castle and nearby architecture made it a very special experience.
I was up in Edinburgh for the hogmanay. The event was well organised and controlled. The queue which was initially massive moved very quickly. I would highly recommend trying to get enclosure tickets. I was feet from the front and had room to move. Awesome way to see the new year in.
Visited Edinburgh for the Christmas markets. Stayed at the Village club hotel .which is a short bus ride into town . Parking is free from friday to sunday then £5 pounds each night . Hotel has a pool and a gym, decent food and prices. Staff are very friendly & helpful. The markets are ok they are not as big as they used to be.
A lovely place to stroll in any season but particularly wonderful at Christmas. Cutbacks have seen many activities curtailed but the fairground at Christmas benefits from the huge open space and the traditional carousel with beautiful hobby horses harks back to a bygone age. The old fountain looked spectacular tonight bathed in different glowing colours.It is quite a distance to walk the full garden circuit and at some points there are many steps which are problematic to those of us elderly people no longer in the full flush of fitness but taken slowly or possibly in part, still a
wonderful experience .🎄😊
wonderful experience .🎄😊
Beautiful gardens and we had so much fun in the xmas market. Great place to be at this time of the year. A bit cold but not even that much in November. Super recommended for anyone.
