On romantic breaks in Edinburgh, leave your Best Western hotel to climb up Arthur's Seat or stroll around the Royal Botanical Gardens.
Best Western hotels are well situated for romantic breaks in Edinburgh, with natural hideaways in the peaceful Royal Botanical Gardens. Walk beyond the end of the Royal Mile to Holyrood Park, an oasis in the city with crags, moorland, glens and fields.
Wrap up warm and take your partner's hand for a stroll up Arthur's Seat, the highest climb in the city at 250 metres. From here enjoy views of the Highlands, the Firth of Forth and perfect sunsets across the beautiful cityscape.
Edinburgh Castle has never been officially conquered, but it was taken by stealth one night in 1314 when the Earl of Murray, with the help of a local soldier, sneaked into the besieged castle and forced the governor to resign.
