20 Things to Do in EDINBURGH, Scotland | 1st timers guide!

Join me on a 3-day solo adventure to Edinburgh, Scotland. I’ll take you on a tour of the must-see sights, provide some tips on how to navigate the city and highlight a few hidden gems! Edinburgh was truly a dream city and, though I could have spent days more there, a weekend trip was the perfect amount of time to get a full taste!
