Edinburgh
EUROPE · GOLDEN HOUR · AULD REEKIE
A castle on a volcano, a medieval mile and a hill that gives you the whole city at sunrise.
The plan
Arthur's Seat at dawn
An extinct volcano in the city — 45 minutes up, all of Scotland's capital below.
The Royal Mile's closes
Duck into the narrow closes off the main drag — the real medieval city.
Edinburgh Castle early
Book the first entry, hear the one o'clock gun from inside.
Whisky in a snug
A dram in a Victorian bar — ask for something Islay if you like smoke.
Dean Village & Stockbridge
The fairytale mill village twenty minutes from the castle, then brunch.
