Discover Traditional Scotland With Edinburgh Hotels

Scotland is a land of tradition, and while you would be hard pressed to experience all its customs in one weekend, you can still enjoy the highlights! A visit to the capital will ease you into this rich and exciting country, so book one of the gorgeous Edinburgh hotels to make your own Scottish traditions.

Trying some traditional Scottish fare is a must, and most Edinburgh hotels and restaurants will offer a good selection of dishes! Haggis is the most famous dish, but there are other great meals as well, including venison, or stovies. The popular Mcsween of Edinburgh is the place to buy your haggis, but if you’d rather leave it to a chef to prepare it, dine at the wee Dubh Prais on the Royal Mile.

Kilts may not be the most modern items of attire but they’re still popular and it’s worth picking up one of your own. Behind the tartan-clad racks of the Edinburgh Old Town Weaving Co, you’ll find the mill’s noisy looms beavering away to produce the finest of kilts. Take a look at the tartan guide and discover your clan history – once you have, treat yourself to a kilt.

The Scotch Whisky Experience is a tour unlike no other and you’ll leave feeling like a connoisseur. The gift shop is an ideal place to stock up on your favourite blends. If you’re thinking of furthering your Scotch education, join the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, which allows access to its member’s room to sample rare whiskies.

In August the Edinburgh Fringe Festival draws in the big crowds, so you’re best to book your hotels well in advance. Make sure you check out the Traverse Theatre, and the Grade-A listed venue known as the Hub. Make sure you watch all types of theatre, from the grand and opulent at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre to the free performances at Fringe Sunday.
