Itinerary :
Day 01 : London - Edinburgh
Take your flight from London to Edinburgh. Upon arrival you will be transferred to your hotel. Rest of the day is at leisure.

A favourite walk for visitors and residents alike is the walk down the banks of the Water of Leith, that hard-working little donkey of a river, past art galleries and gardens, and ending up overlooking the Forth at Newhaven.
