Airlie Guest House offers you a warm welcome to Edinburgh.

Places of Interest to Visit in Edinburgh

For those who like to keep fit while on holiday there is the Olympic standard Commonwealth Pool and Leisure Centre which is only a 5 minutes walk away.
Included is also a children's pool, diving pool and a full range of fitness equipment.
If you keep walking past the swimming pool you will enter the Royal Park and see in front of you Arthur's Seat which is an extinct volcano. There is a path which you can follow to the top and from there you will have a spectacular view of the City of Edinburgh and Fife.
For those who do not want to walk up the hill there is a road and you can drive to the top and enjoy the view that way.

Calton Hill offers some of the best views of the City Centre of Edinburgh and is easily accessible. It only requires the climbing of a few flights of steps from Waterloo Place, a continuation of Princes Street, to be rewarded with panoramic views.

It is only a mile to the High Street from the Guest House and this is where there are many sites of historical interest, including, the Castle, St. Giles Cathedral, John Knox's House and Holyrood Palace.
It is well worth taking a walk down the High Street to savour the atmosphere. We have compiled several folders full of information about the City and about the attractions you can visit during your stay.
This information is available for use by all of our guests. of course, Peter or Fiona are available to answer your questions and offer advice when required.
