-> Lothians
The wider rural hinterland of Edinburgh, known as the Lothians, mixes rolling countryside and attractive country towns with some dramatic historic ruins. In East Lothian, blustery cliff-top paths lead to the romantic battlements of Tantallon Castle, while nearby North Berwick, home of the Scottish Seabird Centre, looks out to the gannet-covered Bass Rock. The most famous sight in Midlothian is the mysterious fifteenth-century Rosslyn Chapel, while West Lothian boasts the towering, roofless Linlithgow Palace, thirty minutes from Edinburgh by train.
