Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Upper Largo

"EdinburghMore fun than you can imagine - 5 floors of interactive hands-on fun!. Fantastic views of Edinburgh and 3 galleries full of amazing optical experiences."

"Located just behind the Scottish Parliament Building, Calton Hill is part of Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. The views from the top of this hill are usually the panoramic views you see of Edinburgh. Several of the monuments we have mentioned above will be found here including the National Monument (which resembles an Athenian acropolis), Nelson Monument, Dugald Stewart Monument, Robert Burns Monument and the Greek-inspired Old City Observatory, which also holds free exhibitions."

"Address: City Observatory, 38 Calton Hill, Edinburgh, EH7 5AAWebsite:Collective. Calton Hill is a large hilltop located close to the hustle and bustle of Princes Street where a collection of Edinburgh’s most famous landmarks are situated within a few hundred feet of each other. The hill is included in the UNESCO World Heritage status that’s been awarded to the city which is hardly surprising considering the amount of history you will find there."

"Located on the end of Princes Street, Calton Hill offers one of the best panoramic views of Edinburgh. Best-seen at sunset or sunrise when candy colours dance across the sky, highlights of Calton Hill include plenty of monuments and follies which commemorate various achievements of former residents from over the years. On a warm summer’s day, this green space is the ideal place not only to snap photos, but to enjoy a picnic among friends!"

No visit to Edinburgh in the wintertime would be complete without a browse round the atmospheric Christmas Market (daily 10am – 10pm, mid November to early January). It’s also pretty much impossible to avoid, regardless of whether you’re a tourist or a beleaguered Edinburgh shopper."

"In view of the Castle and separating the Old Town and New Town, Princes Street Gardens are one of the most popular green spots in the city. Divided into East and West, they attract dog walkers, city workers and families in search of some calm and tranquillity on the midst of the capital. The perfect spot for a picnic on a sunny day."

"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."

"Head to one of my favorite Edinburgh points of interest, the Real Mary King’s Close. Truly one of the most amazing and historically accurate tours I have ever been."

"Craigmillar Castle: Often referred to as ‘Edinburgh’s other castle,’ Craigmillar is one of the best castles the Scottish capital has to offer. The well preserved medieval ruins are situated just a half hour by bus from the city centre, and so the castle is incredibly easy to reach!"

"But a great place to eat is the Huxley, which is a twelve-minute walk from Edinburgh Castle. On your way there, take a slight detour and check out the beautiful Princes Street Gardens. Personally, I love the Mac and Cheese or the grilled Halloumi but they have other great items to choose from too. And don’t worry about missing dinner since the kitchen is open until 10:30 pm daily."

"Sitting just off Leith Walk is Word of Mouth, one of the best coffee shops in Leith and well worth a visit. These guys roast their own beans in-store every day to make sure your coffee is as fresh as it can be and with blends from across the globe, you are sure to find your favourite coffee here, as well as experiment with new blends. Along with great coffee, Word of Mouth have a reasonable menu offering breakfast and lunch options all day."

"***Since Mimi’s doesn’t open until 10 am on Saturday and Sunday, you can also try Word of Mouth Cafe if you want to start your day a bit earlier. Yes, it’s a bit of a hike (just punning it up left and right here) from Arthur’s Seat but totally worth a visit for their delicious vegetarian Scottish breakfast. Seriously one of the best breakfasts in Edinburgh."

"As well as being open for boozy lunches and after-work drinks, Boteco Do Brasil is also a brilliant place to shake it out when dusk falls. Bringing a slice of carnival spirit to Edinburgh's club scene, this party bar is known for its incredible dancers, regular salsa competitions and potent caipirinha cocktails."

"Boteco Do Brasil are a slice of Latin fun, bringing the vibrancy of South America to everything from its design to its atmosphere. Prepare for live music, caiprinhas, and delicious Brazilian food creating a wonderfully unique restaurant."

"Established in 2013, BlackHorn on Church Street has some awesome burgers on offer produced with the finest, freshest ingredients they can get their hands on. Their original burger mix is made using 100% beef from local farmers delivered daily, making these burgers particularly yummy!. If you like spice, we’d recommend you try the “BlackHorn Hot Chick”, featuring a chicken fillet, harissa, Batavia lettuce, plum tomato and harissa mayonnaise!"

"Blackhorn are a locally owned burger / diner joint which serves up great tasting burgers and wraps. Probably the best chips and almost definitely the best milkshakes. It is simply a really good quality comfort food place that is very good."
