The Most Beautiful Churches in Edinburgh
"Also dating back to the 1800s, Old St Paul’s has since been renovated multiple times – the nave extended and the chancel floor raised with marble. Nearly all of the many panes of stained glass, ornaments and vestments were made possible by fundraising or donations. Unusually, the gargoyles at Old St Paul’s are located inside, not on the exterior of the church as is common on buildings of this period."

Top things to do in Edinburgh, Scotland
"Edinburgh's 18th-century City Chambers were built over the sealed-off remains of Mary King's Close, and the lower levels of this medieval Old Town alley have survived almost unchanged amid the foundations for 250 years. Now open to the public, this spooky, subterranean labyrinth gives a fascinating insight into the everyday life of 17th-century Edinburgh. Costumed characters lead tours through a 16th-century town house and the plague-stricken home of a 17th-century gravedigger. Advance booking recommended."

"Luca's Ice Cream parlour in Morningside couldn't be better placed, with Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows just a short walk away. Stop by their retro style parlour after some sunbathing or grab a cone to go, with a delicious selection of ice creams and sorbet - they even have a patriotic Irn Bru sorbet. While you're there, you can pick up your favourite tub of Luca's ice cream for later, which are sold in store."
