Auld and New in Edinburgh is your curated travel guide to the city’s most interesting cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences, and its most budget-friendly options.

Bursting with history, charm and a heart warm enough for even the chilliest winter days, Edinburgh is one of Europe’s must-see cities. From traditional bagpipers, hilltop castle and whisky tastings to the modern city’s Fringe festivities, food trucks and pop-up galleries, there’s plenty to discover in the Scottish capital.

Divided into separate precinct chapters, there's everything from the famous streets of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile and the Georgian New Town to lesser-known areas such as seaside Portobello and leafy Bruntsfield. As well as uncovering a mix of Edinburgh highlights and hidden gems, there are also a selection of field trips that encourage you to venture outside the city to places like Glasgow, Loch Ness, Incholm Island and St Andrews.

Slip this guide in your pocket and discover Auld Reekie like a local.
