Things To Do

Edinburgh - Rick Steeves. 25 minute YouTube video

Carberry Estate hiking trail

2 mile loop around the grounds at Carberry Tower.

Conic Hill

This is about a hour and a half drive from Carberry Tower and a great way to get a taste of the Highlands. We thought this hike was pretty tough, but gorgeous!

Gullane Golf Club

Stirling Castle

About an hours drive from Carberry Tower, you can combine this with Conic Hill and stop by here for lunch and a tour of the castle before or after your hike

Edinburgh Fringe Festival

Since 1947, for three weeks in August the city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy. Artists and performers take to stages all over the city to present shows for every taste, and audiences can create their own festival experience from a mixture of ticketed, free and street performances.
