Edinburgh
Dominated by the majestic ramparts of Edinburgh Castle, the capital of Scotland is one of Europe’s most dramatic and enduringly beautiful cities.
Built like Rome, on seven hills, Edinburgh embraces the new whilst providing a perfect backdrop for the ancient. From the traditional Tattoo to the contemporary Fringe, and from the bustling shops of Princes Street to the classic columns of the National Gallery, people never fail to be entranced by the medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town of Scotland’s first city.
Walking to work in Edinburgh
Commuters and business travellers will relish the short walk from Haymarket Station to Edinburgh Quay – the terminus of the Union Canal – where a quick coffee will refresh you for the day ahead. Likewise, at the end of the day, why not relax with a waterside pint before catching the train home?
Edinburgh’s brewery, library and post office employees (to name but a few) are blessed in their place of work. Not only do they benefit from peaceful waterside views, they can also save money on gym membership and improve their personal fitness with daily walks to work along the canal.
Days out by the canal
From Edinburgh Quay, follow the Union Canal out towards Harrison Park – the perfect spot for a waterside picnic. The rural route of the Union Canal ensures your surroundings are always pleasant – and what’s more, the towpath is reliably flat, so even families with toddlers and pushchairs can leave the car at home.
