Edinburgh, the Capital City of Scotland, makes a perfect day trip for visitors
staying in Glasgow hotels. Less than one hour's drive by car, there are frequent
public transport links from Buchanan Bus Station and Queen Street Train
Station in Glasgow. The Sandyford Hotel offers cheap bed and breakfast
accommodation within easy travelling distance of Edinburgh, and can provide you
with information about things to do during your visit.
Edinburgh's most distinctive visitor attraction is Edinburgh Castle, which
dominates the skyline from Princes Street. Sited on Castle Rock at the top of
the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle is the venue for the annual Edinburgh Military
Tatoo in August.
During August and early September each year, Edinburgh is home to the Edinburgh Festival, the world's largest collection of arts, music and comedy festivals. The Edinburgh International Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe, International Film and Book Festivals all run throughout the summer under the umbrella of the "Edinburgh Festival".
More information about Edinburgh's Festivals can be found at the following website:
Spacious and cozy large beds. Breakfast was fantastic, better than I've had at 5 star hotels. Staff very helpful & friendly. There is also free use of computer and coffee/tea facilities at reception, as well as a library of information leaflets about area.
