Edinburgh is one of the most dynamic, diverse and interesting areas in Scotland and in the world. There are numerous entertainment options for every member of the family as well as opportunities aplenty for rest and relaxation. The city of Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and is situated on the east coast of the Central Belt, along the Firth of Forth, near the North Sea.
Some upcoming regional events which are sure to excite the whole family are:

With spring in the air and the festival and event season well under way those wanting to book family accommodation in cottages or log cabins are advised to book sooner rather than later. In addition to the exciting upcoming events listed above there are regular events and activities that are on-going. These include amazing cycling trails, castle tours, fishing, scuba diving, paragliding and wilderness experiences (Scotland’s wildlife is spectacular) and of course the annual Edinburgh Tattoo.
The Edinburgh Tattoo is the largest gathering of military musicians in the UK and they are all set to perform at this year’s showpiece armed services event; the 62nd Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Set against the incredible Edinburgh Castle, this year’s event is shaping up to be the best ever. The production will feature a range of superb international performers with the highlight of the evening once again expected to be the riveting sights and sounds of the world famous Massed Pipes and Drums. This is the finest musical display anywhere in the world. Although the event isn’t until August those wishing to stay over during this event should consider booking their log cabin accommodation now.
