Go on a city break and discover Edinburgh by renting a campervan
If you are thinking about a city break, why not visit the dynamic, popular city of Edinburgh. Edinburgh has something for everyone from tradition and culture, to breathtaking scenery and a vibrant nightlife. The New Town offers a lively atmosphere, fantastic museums and Edinburgh’s shopping scene where you will find many individual boutiques helping to ensure the survival of Scottish textile traditions such as tweed and cashmere.
The Old Town is characterised by quaint Scottish pubs nestled in the many narrow winding streets. It is also home to many of the historic buildings starting with Edinburgh Castle which houses St Margaret’s Chapel. The chapel was built in 1130 for private use by Scotland’s royal family before being used as a gunpowder store in the 1500s. Taking a short stroll down the Royal Mile you will also find St Giles Cathedral which dates back to 1124.
Edinburgh is also very close to the beautiful Scottish scenery. A short walk from Edinburgh’s Royal Mile is Holyrood Royal Park with its rich cultural heritage. You may want to walk up to Arthur’s Seat for a fabulous view of the city or visit Holyrood Palace which is adjacent to the park and open all year round.

Thanks to the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 wild camping in Scotland is permitted. It is an exciting experience for many but there are things to keep in mind such as do not camp near historic buildings or people’s homes without permission. Do not camp in enclosed fields and always take your litter with you. Looking at the Scottish Outdoor Access Code before going wild camping in Scotland is highly recommended. The code provides both helpful information and advice.
We would recommend staying in Edinburgh for around 2 – 3 days. This will give you sufficient time to explore the city, museums and shopping scene. Renting a campervan also gives you the flexibility of exploring the surrounding area, such as Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.
