Travel Lodge Edinburgh

The Travel Lodge Edinburgh is situated not far from the Dynamic Earth Museum and the city's Royal Mile.  Certainly, for those who are looking for affordable accommodation when visiting this very cosmopolitan city then this will be the ideal choice. 

There is plenty for one to see and do when visiting what is the capital city of Scotland and one place that all tourists will visit is Edinburgh Castle.  This is not only the most visible but distinctive landmarks that this city has and is perched high above it.  Therefore, when you visit the castle you are offered some really spectacular looking down over the entire city out towards the Firth of Fourth. 

The castle has been built on top of an extinct volcano and it is believed that back in the Iron Age's a fort stood on the same spot as the castle does now.  Along with the Great Hall there is the great siege gun known as Mons Meg and the room in which Mary Queen of Scots gave birth to her son who was crowned James I of England as well as James VI of Scotland.  Even though the castle has stood on this site for many centuries now it is still used by the British Armed Forces as a base.  Regularly each year the Military Tattoo takes place and military groups from around the world take part.

Along with Edinburgh Castle, one can visit its Zoo, the Dynamic Earth Museum, the National Museum of Scotland and also the Royal Botanic Garden's.  So during your time in this city you will find plenty to do to keep you entertained.
