TOURS AND ATTRACTIONS 

We would be delighted to arrange day trips and tours to Edinburgh's exciting historic attractions, or to see Scotland's beautiful scenery and castles.

Brothaigh House is only ten minutes from Edinburgh City Centre on one of the many buses that pass our door. Edinburgh has one of the finest bus services in the world so you should not have to wait more than a few minutes for a bus. There are ten different buses that run between Brothaigh House and the city centre. There is a single flat fare, covering any distance, of £1 per person.  Alternatively, £2.50 will buy you an "All Day Travel Ticket" which you can use on any Lothian Bus anywhere in the city as often as you wish until midnight. It is really excellent value for money. The bus numbers to and from Princes Street are 3, 3a, 7, 8, 29, 31, 37, 37a, 47 & 49. After midnight, the N8, N31 or N37 will take you to and from the city at a cost of £2 for all night travel.

Edinburgh boasts some of the world's finest attractions including The Castle, Holyrood Palace,  Royal Yacht Britannia,  Whisky Heritage Centre, The Tartan Weaving Mill, and many more. There's free admission into the many art galleries and museums. As well as having excellent pubs and clubs, Edinburgh has a wealth of fine dining in top class restaurants. Don't forget the wonderful shops in Princes Street and The Royal Mile.

Why not take a tour round the city in an open-topped bus. The "hop-on, hop-off" Edinburgh Bus Tour takes about one hour and the live guide will give you a brief, informative and amusing history of Edinburgh. This will give you a chance also, to choose which of the many fantastic attractions to visit. Remember, your ticket lasts 24 hours and includes discounts on the entrance price to certain attractions. Please ask Graham or Carole for a special discount voucher before you purchase your Edinburgh Bus Tour ticket.

Edinburgh claims to be one of the most haunted cities in Europe.  For those of you who do not know the meaning of fear,  try one of the fantastic "Mercat  Ghost Tours" and experience the "darker side" of Edinburgh.  Tours run several times each day leaving from a meeting point in the Royal Mile.

We can also arrange a day trip to the Highlands and Loch Ness, or Loch Lomond, The Trossachs and Stirling Castle (Braveheart Country) and many other parts of beautiful Scotland using Gray Line Tours. A coach, with a professional guide, will collect you from Brothaigh House after breakfast and return you to the City Centre when the tour is over.

For the more energetic visitors to Scotland, why not try cycling round the beautiful Highlands. Scottish Cycling Holidays will organise bicycle and equipment hire and plan your route and accommodation for cycle tours around Scotland.
