You'll need two days to do justice to the Scottish capital, taking in
Edinburgh Castle
,
strolling down the
Royal Mile
, touring the halls of the
Palace of Holyroodhouse
and
heading down to Leith to board the
Royal Yacht
. Put aside an afternoon to visit the beau-
tiful and mysterious
Rosslyn Chapel
, made famous by the movie
The Da Vinci Code
.
There's great shopping along Princes St and George St, and some of Scotland's best res-
taurants too.

One day will give you enough time to visit
Stirling Castle
- many people think this pic-
turesque fortress is even more interesting and evocative than Edinburgh Castle - and
Ban-
nockburn
, the battlefield where Robert the Bruce led the Scots to victory over the Eng-
lish in 1314. There's the
Wallace Monument
too, a tribute to the freedom fighter immor-
talised in the movie
Braveheart
. No need to stay overnight here - head on to Glasgow at
the end of the day.
STIRLING GLASGOW
45 minutes
Via the M80.
40 minutes
Frequent services from Stirling to Glasgow Queen St.

Culture vultures will need two days to absorb all that Scotland's biggest city has to offer -
Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum
and the
Burrell Collection
are both world class
and will occupy you for a full day. Then there's the
Hunterian Gallery
and the
Mackin-
tosh House
, and the museums along the Clyde. But if one day of art appreciation is
enough, you could spend your final day on a trip to the bonnie banks of
Loch Lomond
,
less than an hour away by car or train.
