Once I made…read morethe reservations, the host contacted me to provide information on how to get to her property from the airport. Upon arrival I found her to be very personable, outgoing and accommodating. She happily shared invaluable suggestions for where to eat, local sites to see, and other places in Scotland that may be of interest. I would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone visiting the Edinburgh area."

There is a bus stop that is very close with many buses heading towards the city centre. Will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Edinburgh!

We were given a room that had plenty of space and a small kitchenette. Breakfast is served there in the mornings; for a real Scottish experience try the full Scottish breakfast! I really enjoyed that with tea, toast, and muesli. The portion sizes are great and it's lovely starting your morning in the sitting room. They had options for those with food restrictions, (non-dairy) as well as vegan and vegetarian choices. Walkable distance to transit systems that take you to and from Glasgow. Close enough to Edinburgh city central to walk, but Uber can pick you up from the curb as well. If visiting Edinburgh for the first time, check out the Arthur's seat hike (7 min Uber from here), Henderson's restaurant, and the Royal Mile!

The commentary is pre-recorded but knowledgeable and the crew intersperse it with live commentary where appropriate. All the crew were really lovely and happy to chat to my wee boy. If you catch an early boat, you can spend longer on Inchcolm Island - the minimum stay is 1.5 hours.

The Forth Boat Tours trip, aboard the Forth Belle, leaves from Hawes Pier and takes you first towards the west, past the Forth Road Bridge, before turning around and heading towards the mouth of the Estuary and stopping at the stunning Inchcolm Island. You can choose to get off at Inchcolm (at a cost of £5 per adult which goes to Historic Scotland for access to the island) or to stay on board and return to Hawes Pier. If you choose to get off at Inchcolm Island, you have 90 minutes (not quite enough to thoroughly explore the Augustinian Abbey and world War II embattlements). Take a picnic if you do get off, as the only shop on the island does not sell drinks or food. Your boat trip is guided with an informative, interesting, and at times witty pre-recorded commentary. On our return from Inchcolm Island, the captain stopped the boat to give the passengers a chance to look out for seals that normall hang out on a cluster of rocks. The boat, an 83 ft saloon with outdoor seating at bow (uncovered) and stern (covered), and a fully enclosed, warm, saloon viewing area has toilets, and a bar/cafe. This experience is perfect for tourists and locals alike! For those looking for soemthing a little different, there are salsa dancing, jazz and disco night cruises available too! £11.00 per adult but look out on Groupon/living social as we got a very good, discounted deal!

They have a main restaurant and also a little bistro in a separate onsite building, called The Potting Shed. We ate in the bistro. Food was incredibly good. Parsnip fritters for a starter were the best food we had during our time in Britain! The unusual take on Sticky Toffee Pudding, with layers of brown sugar, was an improvement on the classic. Short walk to the river. What would be better than a stop here? A stay here! Pricey, but warranted. Look for low rates and deals off season.

The outdoor grounds provide a peaceful place to walk -- and the flowing river is just 100 yard down a short hill. The real star is the Bistro restaurant next door which turned out to be our best meal during our two week tour of the UK. Only reason we wound up there is because they were full at the main hotel "fancy" restaurant - the the desk manager steered us to The Potting Shed. Chef was Polish and is certainly going places -- as for VERY reasonable prices we got amazing, beautiful dishes like Beet Root, Parsnip Fritters, Chicken wrapped in Parma Ham, Fish and Chips, Lamb, and the most wonderful Bread and Butter Pudding for desert. Atmosphere was rustic and charming -- sit on the small covered patio for that view. Would HIGHLY recommend if you are anywhere near this area -- it's worth a special trip just to see the Peacocks parading on the lawn.

Aberdour Railway Station is what all railway stations should strive to be! Located on the Fife -…read moreEdinburgh line, this station stands out from all the rest. Located right in the middle of this little Fife coastal town, which looks over to Edinburgh, this station is the jewel in the town. Its buildings are from the Victorian age along with the bridge, and all are in good conditioned. What is even more impressive though is its appearance. The station is surrounded by flowery areas and the buildings have flourishing hanging baskets. The beauty of the station is also aided by its cleanliness. The staff are very friendly and helpful, whilst also being the ones who maintain the presentation of this station (It really is comparable to the railway station in the Harry Potter books)! Worth a visit, and it is only a twenty minute train ride from Edinburgh, no hassle, go on, pay it a visit!
